About the Stripe Integration

Stripe helps you

✓  Accept credit/debit card and ACH payments directly from customers
✓  Automate payment collection and receipts
✓  Track payment status in real-time
✓  Ensure secure and PCI-compliant payment processing

How it works in Lessen Pro

1

Pros can manually enter a customer's credit card or ACH details within the web portal to process payments.
2

Customers can enter their own credit card or ACH information when viewing invoices, allowing payments to be collected seamlessly and securely.
Stripe's fees vary based on payment type. For the latest information, visit their official pricing page: Stripe Pricing

🔧 How to Set Up Stripe in Lessen Pro

Follow these steps to connect Stripe and start accepting payments.

1

Go to Business Settings

  • Select the My Applications tab
  • Locate the Stripe integration card
  • Click Connect — a new window will open to the Stripe Connect onboarding page
2A

Connect an existing Stripe account

  • Enter your Stripe account email address when prompted, then click Continue
  • Enter your Stripe account password, then click Submit
  • When prompted which account to link, select existing business, then click Continue and verify you want to proceed with linking accounts (this action can't be reversed)
  • When asked to enable Stripe Tax, select No — tax is calculated within Lessen Pro
  • Review your account information, then click Agree and submit to complete the connection
⚠ Note: Stripe may request your tax ID, banking details, or business verification documents during setup.
2B

Connect a new Stripe account

Click here for instructions to create a new Stripe account.

💡 Tip: Stripe offers an optional feature called Stripe Tax that automatically adds tax to payments. Since Lessen Pro already calculates and applies applicable taxes, select No if Stripe prompts you to enable Stripe Tax — this prevents double taxation.
