This article explains how to enable and configure multiple payment methods on your ZenMaid invoices, including Credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Bank transfer, Other, and Custom link, using the individual toggles in your Invoicing settings.

Enabling a payment method does not mean ZenMaid can detect the payment. Only one thing marks an invoice as paid automatically: a client paying by card on the ZenMaid invoice page through your connected processor.

Every other payment requires you to mark the invoice as paid manually. That includes PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Bank transfer, Other, and Custom link, and also card payments you take directly in Stripe or Square outside ZenMaid.

From your ZenMaid dashboard, go to Settings.

Under Client billing, click Invoicing.

Each payment method has its own toggle and can be turned on or off independently.

You can enable multiple payment methods at the same time, so clients can choose how to pay.

By default, all payment methods are toggled off.

You must have a credit card processor (Stripe or Square) connected before you can charge cards.

Only card payments made through ZenMaid’s invoice page are recorded automatically. ZenMaid processes those charges itself through your connected processor (Stripe, Square, or Authorize.net) and marks the invoice as paid.

ZenMaid has no visibility into any other payment, including a card paid directly through your processor outside ZenMaid. PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Bank transfer, Other, and Custom link are display-only links or instructions, so those invoices must be marked as paid manually.

Credit cards: Toggle on.

PayPal: Toggle on and enter your PayPal payment link (for example, https://paypal.me/company_name).

Venmo: Toggle on and enter your Venmo username. The field already shows the https://account.venmo.com/u/ prefix, so enter the username only.

Zelle: Toggle on and enter the email address or phone number connected to your Zelle account.

Bank transfer: Toggle on and enter your bank account details or wire transfer instructions.

Other: Toggle on and add a title and description with your custom payment instructions.

Custom link: Toggle on and paste any external payment URL, such as Cash App, a client portal, or another payment page.

If you disconnect your credit card processor (such as Stripe or Square), the credit card option is removed from the invoice automatically. If no other payment method is enabled, your customers will see “This invoice cannot be paid online at this time. Please contact us for payment details.” when viewing the invoice.

Go to your Invoice settings page.

Scroll to the Payment methods section.

Enable at least one other payment method, such as PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Bank transfer, Other, or Custom link..

This will ensure your customers see a valid way to pay.
