Connect your own Stripe account to let clients pay their invoices by card directly within their portal.

Authorize Stripe Connect link
Go to Manage -> Integrations, locate the Stripe card, and click 'Connect Stripe'. You will be redirected to the secure Stripe portal. Log in with your existing merchant account or create a new one, authorize the Destiny Manage integration, and you'll land back on the Integrations page marked 'connected'.
How clients pay invoices
Once Stripe is connected, a client's outstanding invoices show a 'Pay by card' button in their portal. It launches Stripe Checkout for those invoices, showing your own connected account's business name (not Destiny Manage's) since the charge goes directly to your account, not a shared one. After paying, 'Return to site' brings them back to their own client portal, not a generic page.
Automated payment status tracking
A Stripe webhook notifies Destiny Manage as soon as a payment completes, and the invoice is marked 'Paid' automatically - no manual step needed on your end. Until you connect Stripe, invoices simply have no 'Pay by card' option and stay on bank transfer / manual payment tracking.
