cellbot + Stripe
Accept repair deposits, process payments, and manage recurring billing through Stripe — fully PCI compliant, zero hassle.
What Stripe enables in cellbot
Here's what you get when you connect Stripe to your repair shop.
Checkout Sessions
When a customer books a repair through the AI widget, cellbot creates a Stripe Checkout session automatically. Secure, hosted payment page — no card data touches your servers.
Repair Deposits
Collect deposits at booking time to reduce no-shows. Configurable deposit amounts per service — full payment, percentage, or fixed amount.
Recurring Billing
Offer repair subscription plans or maintenance contracts. Stripe handles recurring charges, retries, and customer portal for managing subscriptions.
PCI Compliance Built In
Stripe handles all PCI DSS compliance. Card details never touch cellbot servers — Stripe Elements and Checkout ensure full security.
Webhook-Driven Updates
Payment confirmations, refunds, and disputes update cellbot tickets in real time via Stripe webhooks. No manual reconciliation needed.
How to set up Stripe
Get connected in 3 simple steps.
Connect Your Stripe Account
Go to cellbot Settings > Payments and click Connect Stripe. You will be redirected to Stripe to authorise the connection.
Configure Payment Settings
Set your default currency, deposit amounts, and whether to require payment at booking or on collection.
Start Accepting Payments
Payments flow automatically. Customers pay through the AI widget or customer portal, and funds land in your Stripe account.
How repair shops use Stripe
Real-world scenarios where the Stripe integration makes a difference.
Collect a configurable deposit when a customer books a repair through the AI widget, reducing no-shows by up to 40%.
Process the remaining balance at collection time using a secure Stripe Checkout link sent to the customer's phone or email.
Automatically reconcile repair payments with tickets — when a Stripe webhook confirms payment, the ticket status updates in real time.
Offer maintenance subscription plans with recurring monthly billing handled entirely by Stripe, including retry logic for failed charges.
Native Integration
Stripe is a first-class integration built directly into cellbot. No third-party connectors, no middleware — it just works out of the box.
Good to know
- Stripe is currently the only supported online payment gateway — PayPal and POS integrations are coming soon.
- Stripe payouts typically take 2 business days to reach your bank account (7 days for new accounts during the initial review period).
- Stripe Connect onboarding requires identity verification, which may take a few minutes for new merchants.
- Recurring billing requires customers to save a payment method — one-time guest checkouts cannot be converted to subscriptions.
