With payments set up, you can request a deposit, a balance, or payment in full against a quote. The customer gets a branded email with a secure Pay now link, and the payment is reconciled automatically when it completes.
- Connect your own Stripe account under Settings, then Integrations. Your business is the merchant of record: money lands in your Stripe account and payouts and disputes are yours.
- Each request records a pending payment against the quote and emails the customer a Pay now link.
- When the customer pays, Manifold marks the payment as paid automatically. The customer sees a confirmation page; if they cancel, nothing is recorded as paid.
- Card payments are included from the Growth plan (and during trial), and the deployment must have online payments configured.
Troubleshooting
- Payment request unavailable: check the plan includes payments, Stripe is connected under Settings, and onboarding is complete.
- Customer paid but the quote shows pending: allow a moment for the confirmation to arrive, then refresh; contact support if it does not reconcile.
- Stripe setup incomplete: finish the Stripe onboarding steps; charges stay disabled until Stripe confirms the account.
