Online payments for freelancers
Give freelance clients a way to pay from their invoice. Accept online payments through your own Stripe account and see which balances still need attention.
Free for 14 days — every feature, no credit card, no automatic charge.
Make payment easier. Keep the balance clear.
Check before chasing a client
Review the outstanding balance rather than relying on the amount in an old email.
Keep payment separate from earnings
Use confirmed invoice payments to check what arrived, then keep your own tax records.
Your client pays your connected Stripe account. Stripe determines supported payment methods and country availability.
Connect an existing Stripe account or create a new one. Client funds go directly to that account. TimeLodge never holds the money and adds no payment fee. Stripe processing fees apply; payment methods and country availability depend on Stripe.

Questions about online payments for freelancers
- Do I need a separate payment account for freelance invoices?
- You connect or create your own Stripe account to accept online payments. Check Stripe’s country availability and account requirements before relying on this payment option for your freelance business.
- Does an online payment mean I can stop checking the invoice?
- Check that the payment is confirmed and review any remaining balance. A partial payment does not settle the whole invoice.
