Mothernode CRM provides the ability to electronically send invoices and deposit invoices, and give customers the option of paying online via credit card or ACH payment methods.
In Mothernode CRM, credit card payments are managed by Stripe, and ACH payments are managed by Plaid.
If you do not have accounts setup yet with Stripe and/or Plaid, this will need to be your first step in the setup process. Please contact Stripe and Plaid directly to setup these accounts and gain access to the setup information that will enable the interface and invoice payment capability with Mothernode CRM.
Stripe Setup for Credit Card Processing
Setup in Mothernode CRM for both credit card and ACH processing is accomplished by accessing the Administration menu, selecting API Connections, and then clicking the Payments tab. Click Connect with Stripe to begin the process:
Click Sign-in to connect to your existing Stripe account, or complete the Activate your account form to sign-up for a new Stripe account:
When signing-in to your existing Stripe account, use your Stripe login credentials:
The screen will return to the Third Party Integration display, confirming connection to Stripe and available payment settings. Click Save when updating any of the Settings:
Plaid Setup for ACH Processing
Plaid setup is accomplished on the same Payments tab in Mothernode CRM.
To complete the Plaid setup for ACH payment processing, login to your Plaid account, and access Keys from the Account Menu.

Invoice Payment Receipts
When an invoice or deposit invoice payment is made online, you and specified team members can receive an emailed payment receipt for immediate notification.
From the Administration menu, access Settings, General tab. Under Invoice Payment Receipts, enter the email addresses of those that should receive a copy of the emailed receipt (Separate email addresses with a comma if more than one email address is specified):
When the payer makes a credit card or ACH payment, and the payment is submitted and approved, both the payer and contacts on the above payment receipt list immediately receive the confirmation email.
