Payments integration

Card payments for air conditioning installers

Connect your own Stripe account to Vento and take the deposit by card on the proposal your customer just signed — on the driveway, not three emails later. Klarna comes with the same connection.

How it works

1. 1

   Connect your own Stripe account

   In Settings → Payments, connect through Stripe's own onboarding. The account is created in your company's name, and Stripe verifies your business directly — Vento never sees or stores your bank details.

2. 2

   Card and Klarna appear on the proposal

   Once connected, your customer can pay by card on the same page they signed. Klarna rides on the same connection, so offering it is a toggle rather than another account to open.

3. 3

   Stripe pays you, not us

   Charges are made on your connected account and Stripe pays out to your bank on your own schedule. The payment is recorded against the job in Vento, so the invoice and the money stay together.

• Your own Stripe account, in your company's name
• Stripe pays out to your bank, never through Vento
• Card and Klarna on one connection
• Payments reconcile against the job automatically

Card or Direct Debit?

Most installers end up using both, for different halves of the same job. A card deposit is immediate and taken while you are still at the property. The balance is usually the larger figure, and card fees are charged as a percentage — so on a £4,000 installation, collecting the balance by Direct Debit costs considerably less. Vento offers both on the same proposal and records either against the same job.
