Choosing between Stripe and Dojo depends on how you interact with your customers. Stripe is your best bet for sending digital invoices with "Pay Now" links, whereas Dojo is the go-to for in-person transactions using a card machine. Both integrate directly with the app, so your tax estimates and bookkeeping stay updated automatically regardless of which provider you use.

Can I use both?
Absolutely. Many business owners find that using both services gives them the most flexibility. For example, you might use Stripe to take a deposit via an online invoice before a project begins, and then use your Dojo card reader to collect the final balance in person once the job is finished.
How to get started
Setting up either service is straightforward and can be done directly within the app.
Open the app and tap the Get paid tab.
Select either Card payments (for Stripe) or Card reader (for Dojo).
Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your account.
Once connected, your card sales will flow into your transaction list automatically. This means less time spent on manual admin and more time focusing on your business. 📈
