How it works
From one invoice to every party paid.
FlowPay sits on Stripe Connect and handles the part of split billing that breaks: getting each party to actually pay the share the court order or fee agreement assigns them, and knowing where every dollar stands.
- Each party pays their own share by card, with no account to create.
- Funds settle directly to your Stripe account.
- FlowPay never touches or holds your money.
Party A pays $1,500.00, Party B pays $1,500.00.
Create the invoice
Enter your fee and the parties. Set exact shares per party, or leave it flexible and let the parties contribute until the total is covered. Connect your Stripe account once during onboarding.
Each party gets their own link
Every party receives a secure Stripe-hosted payment link by email for their share. They pay by card in a couple of minutes. Nobody creates an account, and nobody sees anyone else's payment details.
FlowPay tracks and follows up
The dashboard shows who has paid and who hasn't, per party. When an invoice is partly paid, outstanding parties automatically get a fresh link for the balance. Funds settle directly to your Stripe account, and every payer gets a receipt.

The part that matters
What happens when a party doesn't pay.
This is the moment every split-fee practice knows too well. Here is exactly how it plays out with per-party collection.
Every party gets their link
You create the invoice with each party's share. Each party receives their own Stripe-hosted payment link by email, addressed to them, for their amount only.
The ledger updates itself
Party A pays by card; their status flips to paid and their receipt goes out. Party B's link stays live and untouched. No reconciling, no guessing whose payment arrived.
A fresh link for exactly what's left
The moment a payment lands and a balance remains, every outstanding party gets a fresh link for the exact remainder. Their link stays live until they pay; you never recalculate or re-issue an invoice.
You escalate with a record
FlowPay can't force anyone to pay, but if you need to involve counsel or the court, you have a timestamped, per-party trail: what was requested, when, who paid, and who didn't.
The honest math
A real fee, all the way through.
A $3,000 mediation fee split 50/50 on the Solo plan. No hidden line items; this is the whole picture, so you can decide if the trade beats chasing checks.
That is about 4.9% all-in to never reconcile a deposit or wait on a second check. On the Practice plan the FlowPay share drops to 0.9%. Compare it honestly against the hours a chased invoice costs you.
What the parties see
Professional on their side, too.
Your clients never create an account or learn a new tool. Each party gets three touchpoints, all carrying your practice's name.
Northlake Mediation has requested your share of invoice INV-0042: $1,500.00 of $3,000.00.
A clear request for their share only, with your practice name on it.
Stripe-hosted checkout. Card details go to Stripe, never to you or FlowPay.
Thank you. A confirmation has been sent to all parties and to Northlake Mediation.
Every payer gets a receipt for their share, and a confirmation when the invoice closes.
Illustrative example
Getting started
Three things, and you're collecting.
A Stripe account
Free to create, and you may already have one. We walk you through connecting it during onboarding; your funds settle there, not with us.
An invite code
Early access is invite-only while we work closely with our first practices. Request one and a person will reply.
Your next split invoice
Send your first one in test mode to see the whole flow, then go live. If Stripe is already connected, that's under an hour of setup.
FAQ
Common questions
Do the parties need FlowPay accounts?
No. Each party receives a secure Stripe-hosted payment link by email and pays their share by card. Only you, the practice, have a FlowPay account.
What if one party refuses to pay?
FlowPay can't force someone to pay, but it takes the chasing off your plate. Their payment link stays live, so they can settle the moment they're ready without another invoice from you. Your dashboard shows exactly who has paid and who hasn't, per party, in real time. If the invoice is only partly covered, every outstanding party automatically gets a fresh link for what's left. And if you do need to escalate, you're working from a clean, timestamped record instead of guesswork.
Does FlowPay hold my money?
No. Payments settle directly to your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. FlowPay runs the collection and takes its fee, but is never in custody of your funds or your clients' funds.
Ready to stop chasing checks?
Request an invite, connect your Stripe account, and send your first split invoice. Setup takes under an hour if you already use Stripe, and a person answers every message.
