Card payments
Accept card payments for your handyman or contracting business
HandyBook takes card payments through Stripe Connect: customers pay invoices online from a secure link, and from the Pro plan you can also take in-person payments at a point-of-sale register. Money is deposited to your own Stripe account. Stripe’s standard processing fees apply, plus a 0.5% HandyBook platform fee.

Which plans include it
Card payments is included on every plan (Starter, Pro and Business). The Starter plan is the lowest plan that includes it; see pricing for every feature by plan.
Online invoice payments (every plan)
Connect a Stripe account once during setup. Every invoice you send includes a pay-by-card link, and payments are matched to the right invoice and customer automatically.
In-person payments with the POS register (Pro and up)
The Pro plan adds a full point-of-sale register for counter or job-site sales: a cart, items catalog, tax rates, discounts, tips and split payments, with optional Stripe Terminal card readers, receipt printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers.
What it costs, plainly
There is no separate payments subscription. Stripe charges its standard processing rate for each card payment, and HandyBook adds a 0.5% platform fee. On a $500 invoice paid online by card at Stripe’s standard 2.9% + 30¢ U.S. rate, that is $14.80 to Stripe and $2.50 to HandyBook.

Yes, a 0.5% platform fee on payments processed through HandyBook, in addition to Stripe’s standard processing fees.
