Accept Payments Online: Stripe Connect Is Live in Vuuv
Vuuv now lets you collect payments directly, from invoice pay-now links to automatic monthly rent collection via ACH. No more chasing checks, no third-party payment apps, and no platform fees from Vuuv.
Why We Built This
Tracking income is only half the picture. Our users (landlords, freelancers, and small business owners) told us they wanted to actually collect payments through Vuuv instead of juggling Venmo, Zelle, paper checks, and separate invoicing tools.
With Stripe Connect, you can accept credit card and ACH payments directly through your Vuuv invoices and payment requests. Your clients and tenants get a professional payment experience, and you get the money deposited straight to your bank account.
Vuuv charges zero platform fees. You only pay Stripe's standard processing rates, and for ACH payments, that means $5 or less per rent payment.
What You Can Do
Invoice Pay-Now Links
Every invoice you send from Vuuv can include a secure payment link. Your client clicks "View & Pay," chooses credit card or ACH bank transfer, and pays right there. The invoice is marked paid automatically. No chasing, no follow-up.
Recurring Rent Collection
Set up automatic monthly ACH payments from your tenants. They authorize their bank account once through Plaid, and rent is collected on schedule: weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Payments process automatically at 9 AM Eastern every day.
One-Time Payment Requests
Need to collect a security deposit, a utility reimbursement, or a one-off charge? Create a payment request with an amount and description, and Vuuv sends your tenant or client a link to pay by card or ACH. Track when they view it and when they pay.
Low, Transparent Fees
ACH transfers cost 0.8%, capped at $5 per transaction. That means a $1,500 rent payment costs just $5 to process, compared to $43.80 with a credit card at standard rates. Card payments are available too at 2.9% + $0.30 for clients who prefer them.
Payouts, Disputes, and Reporting
See every incoming payment, payout to your bank, and dispute in one place. View gross amounts, Stripe fees, and net deposits. Access your full Stripe Express dashboard for detailed financial reporting and 1099-K tax forms.
Automatic Bookkeeping
When a payment comes in, Vuuv creates an income transaction in your books automatically: categorized, linked to the right property or client, and ready for your Schedule C or Schedule E. No double entry, no reconciliation.
Setup Takes 10 Minutes
Go to Settings, click "Connect with Stripe," and complete Stripe's identity verification. Add a bank account for payouts, and you're ready to accept payments. Vuuv handles the rest: payment links on invoices, email notifications to your clients, and automatic bookkeeping when payments come in.
Your payment data is secured by Stripe: PCI DSS compliant, 256-bit encryption, and fraud detection built in. Vuuv never stores card numbers or bank credentials.
Availability
Online payments via Stripe Connect are available now for Pro and Elite subscribers on the web app at getvuuv.com. Your clients and tenants can pay from any device, no app required.
