Payments go straight to you, never through a middleman — either by card through Stripe or by however you already collect. Here's how it fits together.
Stripe moves card payments straight into your bank account — Verbalgerbil never sits in the middle. Free to set up, about 10 minutes.
Card invoices only work once Stripe is connected.
No Stripe required — collect exactly like you do today.
