Invoice payment plans
Invoice payment plans allow customers to pay a single invoice over multiple due dates. You can specify flexible net terms or collect a deposit. This feature doesn’t provide you or your customers with any form of credit, or alter the price of a good or service. Stripe doesn’t charge you nor your customers additional fees for using invoice payment plans.
If you provide a financial product or service, consult with your legal advisors regarding applicable restrictions and requirements before setting up invoices. Installment payments, lending, credit, and Buy Now Pay Later services are subject to regulation in Australia and you might need to register or obtain approvals before engaging in those services.
