Create an invoice with a description and an amount, send a Pay Now link by email, and let parents pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay through Stripe — with payouts to your own bank account and a transparent 2.5% platform fee.
Free 14-day trial · No credit card required · Cancel anytime
Session fees, travel time, document prep — every invoice is a description and an amount, auto-numbered like INV-2026-0001. No rigid fee categories to fight with.
Link a case and the recipient fills in automatically. Link a visit and the description writes itself — “Supervised visitation — Smith family, July 11, 2026.”
A live breakdown shows the subtotal, the 2.5% platform fee, and exactly what you receive — before the invoice is created.
The emailed Pay Now button opens Stripe-hosted checkout with card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. No parent account needed — and the invoice marks itself Paid on payment.
Draft, Sent, Paid, Cancelled — plus an automatic daily Overdue sweep. An Unpaid Invoices card on your dashboard and a per-invoice activity timeline keep you on top of balances.
A one-time guided Stripe Connect onboarding (about 5–10 minutes) links your bank. Payments settle to you, and you manage payouts directly on Stripe.
A guided onboarding links your bank account — offered right at sign-up or whenever you’re ready.
Pick the case or visit for autofill, enter the amount, and review the live fee breakdown.
The parent gets an itemized invoice with a Pay Now button — or copy the payment link and share it directly.
Stripe checkout handles the payment; the invoice updates automatically and the activity timeline records it.
FamilyBridge charges a transparent 2.5% platform fee, plus Stripe’s standard processing fees — both visible in the live breakdown before you create any invoice.
No. The Pay Now link opens Stripe-hosted checkout where they pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — no login, no app.
Invoices are immutable once created, which keeps your billing records clean. Delete a draft and recreate it, or cancel a sent invoice — cancelling deactivates its payment link.
24 hours — a Stripe limit on hosted checkout, not a FamilyBridge setting. Before it lapses you can copy the link off the invoice and send it directly. After that, cancel the unpaid invoice and create a fresh one; linking the same case auto-fills the details, so it takes under a minute.
Automatically. A daily sweep flips past-due invoices to Overdue, and your dashboard’s Unpaid Invoices card keeps outstanding balances in view.
Invoicing & Payments is one piece of a workflow that runs from intake to court-ready report.
Every feature, every plan, free for 14 days. No credit card required.
