Stripe Connect
Each ScheduleDrop business connects their own Stripe account through Stripe's standard OAuth flow. All customer payments are processed on the connected account; ScheduleDrop never holds funds on behalf of our customers.
Payments on ScheduleDrop
Payments built on Stripe
ScheduleDrop is a scheduling and operations platform for home service businesses. We use Stripe Connect to give every business its own Stripe account — so cleaners, lawn care companies, and other service operators can accept card payments from their customers directly, without ever handling card data themselves.

How we use Stripe
Stripe Checkout
Our subscription onboarding uses an embedded Stripe Checkout Session to collect payment details and start a 14-day trial. Plan changes and upgrades use Stripe's hosted infrastructure for PCI-compliant tokenization.
Payment Element
Inside ScheduleDrop, businesses use the Stripe Payment Element to securely capture customer card details for one-time charges, tips, refunds, and saved-card payments. Card data never touches our servers.
Payment Intents
Every charge goes through the Payment Intents API, supporting 3D Secure and SCA where required.
Webhooks
We listen to Stripe webhooks for both platform events (subscription billing) and Connect events (charge outcomes, account status, refunds, payouts) to keep ScheduleDrop in sync with what's actually happening in Stripe.
Idempotency Keys
Every Stripe write that originates from a user action is sent with an idempotency key, so retries and duplicate clicks never produce duplicate charges.
How a payment flows through ScheduleDrop

The customer books a job through the business's ScheduleDrop booking form and enters their card via the Stripe Payment Element. Card data is tokenized client-side — never touches our servers.

Stripe creates a Payment Intent
ScheduleDrop creates a Payment Intent on the business's connected Stripe account, with an idempotency key to prevent duplicates. 3D Secure runs where required.
- 4
Charge processes on the connected account
The charge settles directly to the business's connected Stripe account. ScheduleDrop never holds the funds.

Stripe pays out to the business's bank
Stripe pays out the business on their standard payout schedule, directly from their connected account to their bank.
Trust & Security
We chose Stripe because it's the payments infrastructure trusted by some of the largest companies in the world, and because it lets us offer enterprise-grade payment processing to small home-service businesses on day one. By building on Stripe Connect, every ScheduleDrop customer gets:
