Setting Up Payment Methods

OneBookPlus supports multiple payment methods on your invoices. The more options you offer, the easier it is for clients to pay — and the faster you get paid.

Accessing Payment Settings

  1. Go to Settings from the sidebar
  2. Click Payment Methods

Bank Transfer

Add your bank details so clients can pay via direct deposit:

  1. Toggle Bank Transfer to on
  2. Enter your BSB (6 digits)
  3. Enter your Account Number
  4. Optionally add an Account Name

These details appear on every invoice under the payment section.

BPay

If you have a BPay Biller Code:

  1. Toggle BPay to on
  2. Enter your Biller Code
  3. The customer reference number is generated automatically from the invoice number

PayID

PayID allows instant payments using an identifier instead of BSB/account number:

  1. Toggle PayID to on
  2. Select your PayID type: Email, Phone, or ABN
  3. Enter the corresponding value

Stripe (Credit/Debit Card)

Stripe enables online card payments directly from your invoices:

  1. Toggle Credit/Debit Card to on
  2. Click Connect Stripe
  3. Follow the Stripe onboarding process to create or connect your Stripe account
  4. Once connected, every invoice includes a Pay Now button

Clients can pay using:

  • Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
  • Debit card
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay (on supported devices)

How Online Payments Work

  1. You send an invoice to your client
  2. The client opens the invoice via the email link
  3. They click Pay Now
  4. They enter their card details (or use Apple/Google Pay)
  5. Payment is processed by Stripe
  6. The invoice is automatically marked as Paid in OneBookPlus
  7. Funds are deposited to your bank account (typically within 2 business days)

Stripe Fees

Stripe charges a processing fee per transaction (typically 1.75% + 30c for domestic cards). These fees are deducted from the payment before it reaches your bank account.

Choosing Your Methods

You can enable any combination of payment methods. We recommend enabling at least Bank Transfer and Stripe to cover clients who prefer either option.

**Tip:** Invoices with a "Pay Now" button via Stripe get paid on average 2x faster than invoices with bank transfer details only.
