Ask once, at the moment the client is already paying. Their next invoice takes a card and settles in one step, and every invoice after that pays itself.
Your reminder levels already chase an invoice that goes overdue. A card on file means far fewer ever become one. Switch on "Store a card for future payments" against a client whose payment method is Payment link, and their next invoice does the asking for you. Rather than being sent off to a checkout page, the client enters their card on your invoice page, ticks a box agreeing it can be kept and charged when a future invoice is due, and that one card entry both pays this invoice and stores the card. Every invoice after that is paid as it goes out, whether you send it yourself or it goes out through automated billing, and the client receives a paid invoice instead of a payment request. Nothing is locked in: the client can remove the card from their client portal whenever they like, and you can remove it, or switch the setting off, from the billing tab. Card details never touch My-Therapy-Suite, the card lives on your own Stripe account, and the payment runs on Stripe's own rates with no commission from us.
