Card on file and recurring charges
Save a client's card securely, then charge for jobs and series.
Card on file lets a client save a payment method through a Stripe-hosted link. Crewty never sees full card numbers, because Stripe stores the card, not us.
The typical flow looks like this:
- From a booking or a recurring series, send a "save card" link.
- The client opens Stripe Checkout and enters their card.
- You charge that card later for completed work or recurring visits, subject to your plan and Stripe's rules.
If the client's bank requires a new verification later, a charge can fail with an authentication error. When that happens, Crewty can email the client a re-confirm link so they can approve the card again or update it.
Recurring series can auto-charge when you configure them, but only after a card is on file and your Stripe connection is healthy. Turning on 3D Secure at save time gives you strong protection while keeping later auto-charges smooth.
