Charge credit cards in Kalix via our integration with Stripe and Square. Stripe and Square are very popular mobile payment solutions. Connect up your existing Stripe or Square account to Kalix for seamless charging. If you are not set up with Stripe or Square, you can also create a new account from Kalix. 

Charge clients' credit cards that are saved to file or collected through shared forms or online scheduling. Alternatively, collect and charge credit cards directly from a created invoice/superbill.

Note: Bills and invoices generated in Kalix can also be shared with clients to pay securely online. For information on this, please click here.
