Trackly SMS uses Stripe for secure payment processing. This integration is built-in and requires no configuration.

How It Works

  1. You add a payment method in Trackly
  2. Card details are securely stored in Stripe
  3. Usage is tracked and billed automatically
  4. Invoices are generated and payments processed

What’s Automatic

Adding a Payment Method

  1. Go to Settings > Billing
  2. Click Add Payment Method
  3. Enter card details in the Stripe form
  4. Click Save
Card details go directly to Stripe — Trackly never sees your full card number.

Supported Payment Methods

  • Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover
  • Stripe Link (one-click checkout)
  • Cash App Pay
  • Other Stripe-supported payment methods

Managing Payment Method

In Settings > Billing, click Update payment method (or Add payment method) to save a new card in the in-app drawer. The new method becomes the default and the previous one stays saved as a backup. The Manage in Stripe link under your payment method opens the self-service Stripe Customer Portal for invoices and billing details — no support ticket needed. Saved cards are not removed there: the card behind a bank account is its backup instrument, so ask support if a card must go.

Platform Fee Waiver

When you reach 1M segments in a calendar month, the $19.99 platform fee is automatically waived via a Stripe customer balance credit.

Failed Payments

When a payment fails:
  1. Stripe retries automatically
  2. You receive an email notification
  3. Discord alert (if configured)
  4. Update your card to resolve

Retry Schedule

Stripe automatically retries failed payments:
  • First retry: 3 days after failure
  • Second retry: 5 days after first retry
  • Third retry: 7 days after second retry

Resolving Failures

  1. Check card validity and funds
  2. Update payment method if needed
  3. Create a support ticket from your dashboard (Support > New Ticket) if issues persist

Invoices

Viewing Invoices

  1. Go to Settings > Billing
  2. See invoice history
  3. Click to view/download

Invoice Contents

  • Billing period
  • Usage breakdown (segments)
  • Rate per segment
  • Taxes (if applicable)
  • Total amount

Security

PCI Compliance

Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. Your card data is:
  • Encrypted in transit (TLS)
  • Stored securely by Stripe
  • Never stored on Trackly servers

Fraud Protection

Stripe provides:
  • Machine learning fraud detection
  • 3D Secure support
  • Risk scoring

Stripe Customer Portal

Access your Stripe customer portal to:
  • View billing history
  • Download invoices
  • Update billing details
In Settings > Billing, click Manage in Stripe under your payment method to open the portal. Adding or replacing the default payment method happens in the app, not in the portal.

Troubleshooting

Common reasons:
  • Insufficient funds
  • Card expired
  • Fraud protection triggered
Try a different card or contact your bank.
Check your spam folder. Invoices come from Stripe. Add invoices@stripe.com to your contacts.
Download invoices from Settings > Billing. Each invoice serves as a receipt.
