A.X.E.L + Stripe
Send an invoice from A.X.E.L. Your customer clicks a link, pays by card, and the money lands in your account. No chasing. No “I'll pay you next week.” Just fast, professional payments.
Invoice Sent. Payment Received. Done.
Stripe powers the payment layer inside A.X.E.L. Your customers pay by card through a secure checkout link — you get the money, A.X.E.L updates your records.
Connect
Link your Stripe account from A.X.E.L settings. If you don't have one, we'll walk you through setup — takes 10 minutes.
Send
Create an invoice in A.X.E.L and send it to your customer. It includes a secure Stripe payment link — they tap, pay, done.
Get Paid
Money hits your bank account (usually within 2 business days). A.X.E.L marks the invoice as paid automatically.
Payments That Just Work
No payment terminal. No card machine. No awkward “can you do a bank transfer?” Just a link that lets your customer pay instantly.
Card Payments
Accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and all major cards. Apple Pay and Google Pay included — your customers pay however they prefer.
Invoice Payment Links
Every invoice from A.X.E.L includes a Stripe checkout link. Customer clicks it, enters their card, pays. You get notified instantly.
Mobile-First Checkout
Stripe's checkout is optimised for phones. Your customer gets a text or email with the invoice, taps pay on their phone, and you're done.
Automatic Reconciliation
When a payment lands, A.X.E.L marks the invoice paid and updates your records. If you use Xero or QuickBooks, the payment syncs there too.
PCI Compliant
You never touch card data. Stripe handles all the security — PCI DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of payment security in the industry.
Payment Dashboard
Track every payment in your Stripe dashboard. See what's pending, what's paid, and what's coming. A.X.E.L mirrors the same data in your job view.
