If you’re using our Stripe Integration, you can add credit cards to your clients' profiles that can be used to process invoice payments on their behalf. There are multiple methods that can be used to add credit cards and you can refer to each method below:
Method 1
If you enable user accounts for your clients (see Enabling User Account Access), your clients can login to Teachworks and then follow the steps below:
- Click on "Billing" and then click on "Credit Cards".
- Click on the "Add Credit Card" link.
- Fill out the "Add Card" form and then click on "Save Card" to submit the form and add the credit card to their profile.
Method 2
If you enable user accounts for your clients (see Enabling User Account Access), your clients can login to Teachworks and then follow the steps below:
- Click on "Billing" and then click on "Transactions".
- Click on the Invoice Number or an invoice that is not paid for yet.
- Click on the "Pay Online" button at the bottom of the invoice.
- Enter the billing details and then click on the "Save as Default Card" checkbox.
- Submit the form to make the payment and save the credit card.
Method 3
If you have the "Display 'Save Card' Option on External Invoices" option enabled in the Stripe Integration's settings (and the "Hide 'Pay Online' Button from Clients" setting disabled), clients will have the option to save their credit card details when paying an invoice through the link they'll receive in the "New Invoice" email.

Is it Secure?
Stripe is one of the leading payment processors in the world and they place a high level of importance on security. You can find more information about Stripe's security here: https://stripe.com/docs/security/stripe
Stripe has a unique tokenization feature that ensures that no credit card information is ever stored on our servers. When a client submits credit card details or if you submit it on their behalf, that information is sent directly to Stripe and a unique token is created and returned to our server. The transaction is then processed using the token, which then expires once the transaction has been completed.
