Billing
// Overview
VentryShield uses Stripe as the payment processor for every paid action on the dashboard. There are two flows:
- OUTYou pay VentryShield for boosts via Stripe Checkout. Receipts and invoices arrive by email and appear in the payments table on
/settings. - INCustomers pay you through Discover via Stripe Connect. Payouts arrive on your connected Stripe account.
// Checkout flows
After Stripe Checkout, the browser is sent back to one of two routes:
- OK
/checkout_successful— confirms the purchase and redirects you back into the dashboard. Boost balance updates once Stripe webhooks reconcile. - X
/checkout_canceled— shown if you abandoned checkout. No charge is made; you can retry immediately.
// Payments table
The settings page lists every invoice with date, amount, payment type and a link to the Stripe-hosted receipt PDF. This is your source of truth for accounting.
// Customer portal
To update saved cards, billing address or download tax invoices, open the Stripe-hosted customer portal from /settings. Changes there propagate to future charges.
