Overview

The Stripe integration powers all payment collection in Nextoria Hub. When connected, clients can pay invoices directly from the Client Portal via Stripe Checkout — without needing a Stripe account of their own.

Prerequisites

  • A Stripe account (free to create)
  • Your business has completed Stripe’s identity verification
  • Admin access on your Nextoria Hub workspace

Setup

1

Get your Stripe API keys

In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers → API Keys. Copy your Publishable key and Secret key.
Use Test mode keys during development. Switch to Live mode keys only when you’re ready to accept real payments.
2

Connect in Nextoria Hub

In Nextoria Hub, go to Settings → Integrations → Stripe and click Connect. Enter your Publishable Key and Secret Key, then click Save.
3

Configure your payment settings

Under Settings → Finance, configure: - Default currency - Available payment methods (card, ACH, SEPA, etc.) - Automatic payment receipts (On/Off) - Failed payment retry schedule
4

Set up your Stripe webhook

In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers → Webhooks → Add Endpoint. Add: https://yourdomain.nextoriahub.com/api/webhooks/stripe Select the following events: - payment_intent.succeeded - payment_intent.payment_failed - invoice.paid - customer.subscription.deleted Copy the Webhook Signing Secret and add it to Settings → Integrations → Stripe → Webhook Secret.

How Invoice Payments Work

When a client clicks Pay Now on an invoice:
  1. Nextoria Hub creates a Stripe Checkout Session server-side
  2. The client is redirected to Stripe’s hosted payment page
  3. The client completes payment
  4. Stripe sends a payment_intent.succeeded webhook to Nextoria Hub
  5. The invoice status updates to Paid automatically
  6. Both the agency admin and client receive a confirmation email

Recurring Payments (Autopay)

For retainer clients, you can offer Autopay — the client stores their payment method and invoices are charged automatically on the due date. Enable it per client under Clients → [Client Name] → Billing → Enable Autopay.

Test Mode

To test invoice payments without real money:
  1. Use Stripe test keys in Settings → Integrations → Stripe
  2. Use Stripe test card numbers in Checkout:
    • Success: 4242 4242 4242 4242 (any future expiry, any CVC)
    • Decline: 4000 0000 0000 0002
    • Requires auth: 4000 0025 0000 3155
Switch to live keys before going live. Test and live keys are separate and do not share data.
