Integrated Payments

From tap to books, on autopilot

In-Person Payments

Charge cards on a
countertop smart reader.

Open an order's Payment tab, pick a registered reader, and hit Charge on reader. The terminal wakes up for tap or insert, and the screen shows live status until the payment completes — no re-keying totals into a separate machine.

Stripe smart readers: Stripe Reader S700 and BBPOS WisePOS E
Simple pairing: register a reader with a code and label it per counter
Partial payments: the amount defaults to balance due and stays editable
Guided Stripe onboarding: connect your store's own Stripe account in minutes

Payment Links

Get paid over the phone
with a secure link.

One click creates a Stripe-hosted checkout link for the open balance, valid for 24 hours. Copy it, or send it by email or text straight from the invoice dialogs you already use. When the customer pays, the payment records against the order automatically.

Stripe-hosted checkout: customers pay on a secure page, never over the phone
Copy, email, or text: delivery built into the existing invoice dialogs
Auto-recorded: the paid link marks the order paid without staff touching it
Customer Portal ready: stores with the portal add-on get a pay-online button on the customer's own order page

Optional Add-On

Your money, your Stripe account, your call.

Integrated payments is an optional add-on with an owner-controlled toggle — prefer your existing card processor? Keep it, and record those payments as you always have with no UpChannels payment fee. If you switch it on, your store is the merchant of record: your name on customer statements, funds settling to your own Stripe balance, and the transparent per-charge platform fee shown right in Settings — no surprise invoices.
