Billing that reconciles itself
Marina billing goes wrong in the gap between systems — invoices in one place, card payments in another, cash and checks in a notebook. BerthRight puts all of it in one ledger: invoices generate from the contract, payments settle into your own Stripe account, and cash still gets recorded properly.
Your Stripe account, not ours
Each marina connects its own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. Money moves from your customer to you directly — BerthRight never sits in the middle of your funds and takes no cut of the transaction. Stripe's standard processing rate is the only per-payment fee.
- Stripe Connect account per marina — payouts go straight to you
- Card and ACH accepted, with saved payment methods for repeat billing
- No per-transaction fee from BerthRight, ever
Invoices and schedules generated from the contract
When a contract is signed, its installment schedule and invoices come with it. Each installment bills on its date, so the deposit-then-instalments pattern most marinas use runs without anyone remembering to send the second invoice.
- Installment schedules generated automatically from the contract
- Payment reminders sent before an installment is due
- Late fees applied by policy rather than by argument
Cash and checks still count
Not every boater pays online. Record cash and check payments against the invoice so the balance, the ledger and the reports stay correct — instead of the software showing overdue for customers who paid you at the office.
- Manual payment recording for cash and check
- Refunds, taxes and add-on fees handled in the same ledger
- Built-in point of sale for fuel, ice and dock services
Questions about billing & payments
Does BerthRight take a percentage of payments?
No. Payments run through your own Stripe account via Stripe Connect, and Stripe's standard processing fee is the only per-payment cost. BerthRight charges a flat monthly subscription and takes no cut of your transactions.
Can I record cash and check payments?
Yes. Cash and check payments are recorded manually against the invoice and settle the balance in the same ledger as online payments, so reporting stays accurate.
Do you support ACH as well as credit cards?
Yes. Both card and ACH payments are supported through Stripe, and customers can save a payment method for recurring installments.
