With Stripe connected, every invoice sent from Pike includes a Pay online link and button in the email and on the PDF. The link opens a Stripe-hosted payment page in the invoice currency, with the payment methods enabled in your Stripe account: card, and bank debits or transfers where Stripe supports them.
If the invoice also syncs to an accounting integration, Pike records the Stripe payment for visibility. Reconciliation stays in the accounting system, through its own Stripe feed. Pike does not post Stripe payments to accounting.

How agencies use Pike with Stripe
- Get paid sooner. A card or bank payment link on every invoice removes the bank-transfer step for clients, which shortens DSO.
- Stop chasing paid invoices. Paid invoices flip to Paid with the date and fee, so finance follows up only on what is still open.
- See cash, not just billing. Partial payments, refunds, and disputes show on the invoice, so the cash position in Pike matches Stripe.
Limits to know before you connect
- Stripe payouts and balances do not sync.
- Pike does not create subscriptions in Stripe.
- Pike does not post Stripe payments to accounting. Reconcile through your accounting system’s own Stripe feed.
