Payments

Stripe online payments built into your garage software

Connect Stripe and your customers can pay you online by card. There is no card machine to buy: the payment goes through Stripe, the invoice is marked as paid, and your accounting software is updated.

What it does

How Autopilot works with Stripe

Get paid online

Customers pay by card online through Stripe. Nothing to buy and no card machine needed to get started.

Invoice updates itself

When the payment goes through, the invoice is marked as paid and synced to your accounting software.

Proper receipts

Stripe-generated receipts for every transaction, so customers get a record and you get a trail.
