Payments

Online payments for auto repair invoices

Strut helps shops send invoices with a payment path so customers can pay online and staff can see payment status without manual chasing.

Workflow and fit

Connect the shop’s Stripe account

Strut’s public setup screen shows guided Stripe connection for invoice payments. Confirm the business account, payment fees and settlement terms before using it with customers. Platform subscription pricing is separate from payment processing.

  • Identify who owns payment setup.
  • Review provider requirements and fees.
  • Confirm the connected business account.

Workflow and fit

Give the customer a payment path

Customers can pay from invoice emails after payment setup. Confirm the recipient and final invoice before sending. The public invoice detail shows payment status alongside the document.

  • Check the remaining balance.
  • Use the intended invoice email contact.
  • Keep the payment tied to the correct visit.

Workflow and fit

Review discrepancies before chasing payment

A customer may have paid through another agreed method or may question a charge. Check the invoice and payment record before following up. This workflow does not promise automated reminder campaigns.

  • Assign follow-up to one advisor.
  • Investigate mismatched payment references.
  • Confirm resolution before closing the follow-up task.
