When creating invoices in Kitchen, you can allow clients to pay online using one of our supported payment methods.
Kitchen supports multiple credit card payment processors, as well as PayPal and Stripe ACH via Plaid.
When an invoice is paid through the Kitchen checkout page using one of these integrations, Kitchen automatically captures the payment and updates the invoice status to Paid.
You can also provide instructions for manual payment methods such as bank transfers or e-checks.
To configure your payment methods, go to Settings → Payments.
