- Once logged in, tap on Invoices at the bottom
- Tap on an existing Invoice to edit, or tap on the + plus button to make a new Invoice
- At the top under Online Payments, tap on Accept Online Payments

![WePay enabled with checkboxes checked off for credit cards and bank transfers.]()
- If enabling PayPal, you can also enable Accept Debit or Credit Cards (available for PayPal accounts in select countries only)

- Then tap on Back to save your online payment settings, you’ll see the payment method is actively selected
- Continue creating your Invoice as needed, and click Save to finish.
FAQs
What happens if I haven't connected an online payment method yet?
If you have not enabled PayPal, Stripe or WePay yet, you will only see the option to set up FreshBooks Payments (WePay) for the first time on your device. Once set up, you’ll need to finish the process on a web browser later with the steps here.
For PayPal and Stripe, you can enable on a web browser with the steps for PayPal here or Stripe here first, and then Paypal and/or Stripe will appear as an option to select on your device while making an Invoice.
