Bookipi has partnered with payments platforms, FatZebra in Australia and ProPay in the US, that let you accept card payments from your invoices. You just need to set up your account and your customers will get a payment link on their invoices.

- Once you enable BookiPay you will be prompted to start the signup process
Through an invitation email:
- Click on the invitation link that you have received via email.
- Complete the signup process.
If you are located within the US, currently Bookipay is activated via invite only but will be released to all users in the US in the coming weeks.
Fatzebra is a PCI DSS Tier 1 certified service provider which means that they have passed a yearly audit from a qualified security assessor (QSA) by the PCI Consulting Australia.
Propay uses end to end data encryption to enhance data security.
