Getting paid, built in.

• Available

  Cards online, through Stripe

  Customers pay by card in Stripe Checkout as they order or book on your website. Orders and bookings are marked paid the moment Stripe confirms it, and refunds and disputes are logged against the same record.

• Available

  Direct Debit, through GoCardless

  Where taking money from a customer's bank account fits better than a card, for example regular or larger payments, Axle uses GoCardless.

• Coming soon

  In person, on a card reader

  Taking payments face to face on a card reader, at a desk, a counter or an event, straight into the same records.

• Marked paid for you

  Stripe's confirmations mark orders and bookings paid, expired, refunded or disputed, so nobody updates them by hand.

• Emails go out

  A paid order or booking triggers its confirmation email to the customer, from your own domain.

• On the customer's record

  Every payment sits on the customer's timeline in the core, next to their orders, bookings and messages.

• Into your accounts

  Invoices and receipts come out as branded PDFs, and Sage and Xero exports take the figures into your accounts.

• Shop KitCard checkout on your storefront, with payment records on every order and manual payment logging for trade accounts.
• Event KitTickets and places paid for online as people book.
• Reservation KitDeposits taken online when clients book, then checkout at the desk with tips, retail and gift vouchers, and takings by payment method.
• Travel KitDeposits, staged payments and final balances, each reconciled through Stripe, with payment reminders.
• Band KitInvoices raised and paid on the same record as the gig.
• Menu KitOrders paid for from the table, online.
