Sending & Getting Paid

The invoice and the payment on the same page.

Sending

Press Send on a draft. Jot emails the buyer a link to the invoice page and moves it from Draft to Sent. From that point it is live and payable.

What the buyer sees

The invoice number, who it is from, their own details, every line item, the totals, your notes and terms — and a button that pays it. No account, no download, no PDF to lose in a thread.

How payment works

Pressing the pay button opens a Stripe checkout. The money goes to your Stripe account. Jot never holds it.

The amount is taken from the invoice itself on the server, not from anything the browser sends, so what is charged always matches what was invoiced.

Sharing another way

The invoice link works wherever you put it — a text message, a chat, a QR code on a paper copy. It is the same page whichever way the customer arrives.

After it is paid

The invoice shows as Paid with the date, and the buyer gets a Print for your records button so they can save a receipt.

If payment fails

• Check your Stripe keys are saved and are live keys, not test keys.
• Check the invoice has a Stripe connection attached.
• Check the payment method is enabled in your Stripe dashboard.
• Check the invoice is not past its due date — a past-due invoice will not take payment.
