Payment on invoicePrivate preview
Learn how to offer payment on invoice, a buy now, pay later payment option that allows you to get paid up front.
Payment on invoice is a common way for customers to buy now and pay later in Germany. When you accept payments on invoice with Stripe, as soon as a payment is approved, we add the full payment amount, minus fees, to your Stripe balance. We then send an invoice to your customer that reflects your branding. They must pay the invoice within 14 days.
To pay using payment on invoice, a buyer enters their details (including name, email address, address, and date of birth). Using this data, a risk assessment is carried out and, if approved by the assessment, the payment is authorised on Stripe. The payment is then approved or declined based on the risk assessment result and you receive an immediate notification of the payment’s success or failure.
