Get Paid Without Lifting a Finger

Autopilot links your Stripe account (Connect) and adds Stripe-hosted payment links to invoices. Clients pay Stripe's familiar checkout; money settles in your Stripe balance, then your bank. Experi syncs status - we are not the merchant of record.

Enable Autopilot

From Sending to Collecting - Automatically

Experi creates payment sessions on Stripe for your invoices. Your clients see Stripe checkout - the brand they already trust for online payments. When Stripe confirms payment, your invoice is marked paid. If payment fails, Stripe handles retries and dunning. The cycle runs on Stripe rails; Experi orchestrates links and bookkeeping.

Key Benefits

Stripe-hosted checkout

Every invoice can include a link to a Stripe-hosted payment page. Clients pay card or bank through Stripe - not a generic 'pay us' page that hides who is actually charging the card.

🔄

Auto-Reconciliation

When a payment clears, Experi automatically marks the invoice as paid. No more checking your bank and manually updating records. Your dashboard stays accurate in real time.

📬

Smart Dunning

If a payment fails or a client doesn't pay, Stripe handles the follow-ups. Failed cards get retried automatically. Experi's own chase system defers to Stripe - no double-chasing.

How It Works

1

Connect Your Stripe Account

Link your Stripe account in Settings → Autopilot. Stripe handles all compliance, card processing, and payouts. Takes about 5 minutes.

2

Send Invoices as Normal

Create and send invoices the way you always do. Autopilot automatically attaches a payment link so clients can pay online.

3

Clients Pay via Payment Page

Your client clicks the payment link, sees a professional Stripe-hosted page, and pays by card or bank transfer. Fast, secure, mobile-friendly.

4

Invoice Marked Paid Automatically

Stripe notifies Experi the moment payment clears. Your invoice status updates to Paid automatically. Funds are transferred to your bank on Stripe's payout schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Autopilot to use Experi?

No. Experi works perfectly without Autopilot - you can send invoices with your bank details and manually mark them as paid. Autopilot is a completely optional add-on for Pro users who want automatic payment collection.

Where does the money go?

Stripe collects from your client and credits your connected Stripe account, then pays out to your bank on Stripe's schedule. Experi never holds your funds and is not the merchant of record.

Do clients pay Experi or Stripe?

They pay through Stripe's checkout on your behalf. The charge is processed by Stripe as part of your connected account; Experi does not appear as the party collecting card or bank details.

What does it cost?

Autopilot is included with your Pro subscription (£9/month) at no extra cost. There are no platform fees from Experi - you only pay Stripe's standard processing fees (typically 1.4% + 20p for UK cards).

Does Autopilot work with recurring invoices?

Yes. When Autopilot is enabled and auto-collection is turned on, recurring invoices are automatically sent with payment links. Fully hands-off billing.

What happens if a payment fails?

Stripe automatically retries failed payments. If the retry also fails, Experi's chase system can take over. There's no gap in coverage.
