The invoice is a smart file on the project. Send it, take a retainer, let the client Pay now in the portal. Amberpact does not invent a payment when the studio has not connected a processor.
Schedules that match the job
Deposit percent, tax, line items, overdue when a date slips. Staff can record a partial.
Stripe or Square — one
Settings → Client payments. Express Connect or Square OAuth. Separate from the Amberpact subscription you pay Cody.
Honest checkout
Demo Golden Hour still mocks a card so you can click through. Live studios show “payments aren’t connected” until a provider is linked.

- Step 1
Create the invoice on the project. Send it.
- Step 2
