Do I have to use Stripe to process credit cards?

  • You are not restricted by Housecall Pro to use our integrated processor to process credit cards. We offer credit card processing as a convenience to our customers.

  • We've partnered with Stripe for processing credit card payments, which allows you to accept credit card payments for one low rate across all card types and amounts.

  • Stripe disbursements usually take 1-2 business days to reach your account. However, if it is the first disbursement, it can take up to 5-7 business days to reach your account.

  • Stripe is the industry leader for processing payments and uses bank-level security.

  • All cards processed through Housecall Pro and Stripe are encrypted on disk with AES-256. The decryption keys are stored on a separate device. This means that as soon as a customer's card is scanned using the Housecall Pro mobile app or input into the Housecall Pro Web Portal, it is secured and unretrievable by the user.

Please Note: You cannot use the credit card option in our system if you do not use our payment processor.
