# PayGate: Get Paid Without the Redirect

PayGate brings payment processing into EternalEngine — cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and recurring billing, powered by Stripe Connect. Free on every plan.

The last step of every job is the one most software treats as someone else’s problem: getting paid. You send an invoice from one tool, your client pays through another, and you reconcile the two by hand at the end of the month.

[PayGate](https://eternalengineos.io/features/paygate/) closes that loop. It’s live now, built into EternalEngine, powered by Stripe Connect.

## Payments where your work already lives

**Cards, wallets, no redirects.** Accept all major cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Your clients pay inside your EternalEngine-powered experience — no bounce to a third-party checkout page that looks nothing like your business.

**One-click payment links.** Turn any [TitanLedger](https://eternalengineos.io/features/titanledger/) invoice into a shareable payment link. Send it by email or text; your client pays without creating an account.

**Recurring billing.** Subscriptions, retainers, and payment plans with automatic retries on failed payments.

**Instant visibility.** When a payment settles, your invoice marks itself paid, your books update, and your revenue dashboard reflects it — MRR, churn, and refund rates connected directly to your CRM. Zero manual reconciliation.

**Disputes handled in-platform.** Chargebacks arrive with the evidence-submission workflow built in, so you respond from the same place you see everything else.

## What it costs

PayGate’s **Free tier is included with every plan.** *Updated 2026-09-13 — rates are now ratified and all-in to the merchant (ADR-074), replacing the provisional additive pricing this post originally described:* Free is 3.4% + $0.30 per card transaction (ACH 1%, capped at $10), up to $10K/mo processed — one all-in rate, no separate Stripe processing fee. Optional paid tiers — Growth at $49/mo and Scale at $149/mo (unlimited volume) — both drop the rate to 2.9% + $0.30 and raise volume caps as you grow. The math is on the [pricing page](https://eternalengineos.io/pricing/).

## The boring, important part

Card data is collected and stored by Stripe — full card numbers never touch EternalEngine servers. Every PayGate account runs inside EternalEngine’s [database-level tenant isolation](https://eternalengineos.io/features/security-compliance/tenant-isolation/), and every transaction is logged to a full [audit trail](https://eternalengineos.io/features/security-compliance/audit-trails/).

Invoice goes out. Payment comes in. Books update themselves. That’s the whole point. [Explore PayGate →](https://eternalengineos.io/features/paygate/)
