Having explored the key features, let’s have a closer look at the Stripe payment processing as well as the invoices.

Stripe Payment Processing

One of the headline enhancements in Commerce Hub is the integration of flexible payment processing through Stripe.

Now, users can seamlessly and quickly collect payments from customers directly within the HubSpot CRM using their existing Stripe login credentials. This integration brings unparalleled convenience, allowing businesses to harness all the capabilities of Commerce Hub without switching payment processors, especially if they are already using Stripe.

Use Case: Imagine a scenario where a customer has been utilising Stripe as their preferred payment processor. With Commerce Hub's Stripe integration, there's no need to disrupt their established workflow. They can now seamlessly manage payments, quotes, and billing processes while enjoying the benefits of HubSpot's CRM ecosystem.

Invoices: streamlining payments for speedy transactions

Another stellar addition to Commerce Hub is the brand-new invoicing tool. If getting paid faster is a priority for your business, then invoices within Commerce Hub can be a game-changer. With this feature, you can seamlessly turn a quote into cash in record time, all while keeping the process well within the confines of your HubSpot CRM.

Sending invoices directly from your CRM not only enhances efficiency but also ensures that you're on top of your invoicing game. 

Key benefits of invoices in Commerce Hub:

  • Get paid faster: Say goodbye to long wait times for payments. With Commerce Hub's Invoices, you can expedite your payment collection process.

  • Streamlined invoicing: Bill your customers with ease using native invoicing capabilities right from within your CRM. This streamlined approach saves you time and effort.

  • Automated actions: Implement invoice-based workflows to automate essential actions, reducing manual tasks and the risk of human error.

  • Revenue reporting: Access robust reporting tools to gain insights into your revenue streams, helping you make informed business decisions.

Invoices in Commerce Hub go beyond simple billing; they empower you to manage your finances more efficiently, stay on top of overdue payments, and gain valuable insights into your revenue.
