Stripe Invoicing

Overview

Stripe Invoicing is a built-in invoicing feature of the Stripe payments platform, allowing businesses to create, send, and track invoices directly from their Stripe dashboard or via API. It charges per-invoice fees (approximately 0.4% of invoice value) with no monthly subscription. Stripe supports SEPA Direct Debit, Irish IBAN payouts, and multiple payment methods including card, bank transfer, and local payment methods. Stripe processes EU data within the EU for GDPR compliance. Stripe Invoicing is well suited to Irish tech companies and professional services firms with 1 to 20 employees who already use Stripe for payments and want a lightweight invoicing solution integrated with their payment processing.

Compliance vocabulary for Stripe Invoicing

Irish terms that shape how this software is bought, configured, and audited.

• SEPA Direct Debit aka SDD, SEPA DD

  The standardised Euro pull-payment scheme covering all SEPA countries. A creditor with a Creditor Identifier and a signed mandate can debit the debtor's account in any participating bank using a pain.008 XML file.

• SEPA Direct Debit Business-to-Business (SDD B2B) aka SEPA DD B2B, SDD B2B, SEPA B2B Direct Debit

  The SEPA Direct Debit scheme variant for business-to-business collections. Faster settlement than SDD Core and no eight-week refund right once the debtor's bank has authorised the mandate, making it the standard for predictable B2B receivables.

  PSD2 requirement that electronic payments use two of three authentication factors: knowledge (PIN), possession (phone or token) and inherence (biometric). Applies to Irish card and bank payments.
