Automate reminders and track receivables with Stripe and chaser

Late payments aren’t just frustrating—they can be genuinely damaging. They disrupt cash flow, tie up working capital, and keep finance teams stuck in reactive cycles. In fact, the average mid-sized business is owed over £300,000 in late payments at any one time (Intuit), with 87% of invoices paid after their due date (The late payment report). That’s not just admin—it’s a major threat to your financial health.

Stripe has become the go-to payment solution for modern businesses, especially SaaS companies, marketplaces, startups, and digital platforms. But while Stripe handles payment processing beautifully, it’s not built to manage the end-to-end accounts receivable (AR) process. That’s where Chaser comes in.

Chaser's new direct integration with Stripe—gives users access to advanced AR automation, intelligent insights, and a seamless way to get paid faster, with less manual effort.

Why Stripe users need more than a payment processor

Many businesses—especially in SaaS and ecommerce—use Stripe as their system of record. It’s where payments are tracked, invoices are issued, and customer data lives. But it’s not an accounts receivable platform, and it doesn’t provide:

• A structured reminder workflow
• A central timeline of chasing activity
• Visibility into when an invoice might become a problem
• Tools to personalize reminders without hours of manual work

This gap often leads to missed follow-ups, poor visibility, and delayed payments. The Chaser integration with Stripe is designed to solve all of that.

Take the manual work out of chasing payments

Chasing overdue invoices is one of the most time-consuming tasks in finance. The average mid-sized business spends 14 hours per week on credit control tasks (Intuit). That’s nearly two full working days.

With Chaser, all those follow-ups are automated—intelligently.

Once your Stripe account is connected, Chaser automatically pulls invoice and customer data and begins sending smart, personalized reminders based on your rules. Choose when reminders go out, how often, and via which channels—email, SMS, phone calls, auto-calls or letters.

Each message is sent from your own email address, with your name, signature, and brand style, so it never feels robotic or impersonal.

And it doesn’t stop at automation. Chaser helps you escalate gracefully. Early reminders might come from the finance assistant; by week three, they can be sent in the name of your finance director or even a third-party collector.

Get proactive with real-time data and AI insights

This integration is about more than reminders. It gives Stripe users complete control and visibility over their AR.

• Live syncs keep your data current—Chaser pulls the latest invoices, credit notes, and customer details daily or on-demand
• Engagement tracking lets you see if customers have opened your messages and when, so you can time follow-ups perfectly
• Conversation history is automatically stored for every contact, reducing duplication and keeping everyone aligned

And now, with AI-driven insights, Chaser helps you spot problems before they happen. Predict which invoices are most likely to go overdue, and prioritise the ones that matter most.

You’ll even gain behavioral insights on your customers—how they typically pay, whether their habits are improving or declining, and how long they take to settle up on average.

Make it easier for customers to pay you

One of the most powerful aspects of this integration is how easy it becomes for your customers to pay you.

With Chaser’s Stripe-enabled Payment Portal, customers can:

• View all outstanding invoices
• Download account statements
• Pay via card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, or direct debit
• See processing fees (if you choose to pass them on)

It’s a simple, modern, self-service experience that removes barriers to payment. For Stripe users handling global customers, Chaser supports over 135 currencies and multiple payment accounts—so payments always land in the right place.

The result? Less friction, faster payments, and happier customers.

Tailor your strategy to every situation

Chaser lets Stripe users go beyond one-size-fits-all reminder workflows. You can:

• Set multiple chasing schedules to handle different customer types, languages, or currencies
• Use escalation paths that bring in senior senders as invoices age
• Automatically send monthly statements to customers summarising what they owe
• Say thanks with automated payment acknowledgements—a small gesture that improves relationships and future payment behavior

Every touchpoint feels thoughtful and human. And once you’ve set your workflows, Chaser runs them in the background—no need to intervene unless you want to.

What to expect when you get started

Setting up the integration takes just a few minutes. You’ll:

1. Generate a restricted API key in Stripe
2. Paste that key into Chaser
3. See your Stripe customers, invoices, and credit notes populate automatically
4. Start sending smart reminders based on your data

From that point on, syncs happen daily (or whenever you need them), ensuring your reminders always reflect the latest information. See full guidance in the Help centre.

The impact you can expect

Chaser users typically:

• Reduce late payments by up to 75%
• Save 15+ hours per week on manual follow-up tasks
• Improve customer satisfaction through clearer, more professional communication
• Increase visibility for finance, sales, and customer success teams

For Stripe users, this integration unlocks all of that—without needing to switch systems or complicate your setup.
