Payment details appear in the lower left of each invoice.
A confirmation email is sent immediately to the email for the broker account.
A second email is sent once the bank accepts or rejects the transaction.
If the payment is rejected by your bank, the status of the invoice will return to it’s prior status (Open or Past Due) and the information about the rejection will be added at the lower left of the invoice.
Tips for Success
Ensure the account email entered matches the one on file for the broker.
Review invoice numbers before paying.
If you have saved bank/account information previously, verify that you are selecting the correct information for this invoice.
Watch for confirmation emails to verify payment success or issues with processing the payment.
First time Using Stripe in the Broker Portal or using a new payment method
If you are setting up your payment method with a specific bank/account for the first time in the Broker Portal, you will need to go through an additional verification process.
Enter your bank name in the search field and find it in the search results.
If your bank is found
Select it from the search results; a login modal for your bank will open in the current tab.
Login into the bank via the provided modal and authorize your bank to provide account/routing information to Stripe.
If your bank is not found
Select “Enter bank details manually”; a modal will open.
Type in your bank name, account number, and routing number and save the information.
You will be returned to the payment screen.
Once you are returned to the Payment screen you can save this payment method by checking the box below the Bank Account information:
If you had to enter your bank information manually at step 1, if you don’t save the payment details, then each time you pay an invoice you will be required to complete the Stripe verification process.
Microdeposit verification is required when manually entering bank information. After you click to pay submit the payment, an email will be sent to the email entered on the payment screen, and a link “Action Required” will appear in the lower left of the invoice screen where payment status is displayed. You will need to follow the instructions provided in the email or via the link.
The window for completing microdeposit verification is 10 days--if you haven’t completed verification by then, the payment will fail, the invoice will go back to open status, and the payment process redone.
Only 3 verification attempts are allowed for each microdeposit verification. If verification fails 3 times for a payment, Stripe will lock out that payment method until you contact them directly at https://support.stripe.com/email. Unfortunately, neither the SLA nor the Support Team can unlock the account on your behalf.
