How to set up and accept HubSpot Payments

The HubSpot payments tool improves your customers’ overall purchasing experience by streamlining the purchasing process. Users can utilize quotes or payment links in the CRM to manage one-time and recurring payments. Additionally, users can establish links to expedite payment notifications, receipts, and refunds. Beyond payment collection, users can manage payment subscriptions, create and download custom reports, trigger workflows, and review transactions - all from within the HubSpot platform. 


Activating HubSpot payments begins with an application in HubSpot and verification of identity with HubSpot partner, Stripe. Applications are reviewed within two to three business days.

ADDING OR EDITING HUBSPOT PAYMENT BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION

Once HubSpot verifies and activates your account, you may enter information related to the bank account you will be using to receive payments and/or payouts. Each HubSpot account is limited to one bank account. Users with “Super Admin” permissions may modify HubSpot payment bank account information. When bank account information is updated, update alerts will be sent to all Super Admin users. Changes to your company name or authorized user(s) require contacting paymentsunderwriting@hubspot.com. HubSpot support should also be contacted to modify HubSpot account settings or close a HubSpot payments account. Note: account activation and information update is required before you can create and share payment links or integrate payments with quotes.

  • Navigate to “Payments” (left sidebar) and click “Account info.”
  • Look to the Bank Info area and click “Add.”
  • Enter “Account holder name” (person or company), “Routing number,” “Account number” (and confirmation).
  • Click “Save.”
  • Click “Edit” to modify information related to your bank account.
  • If you wish to collect customer shipping address at checkout, navigate to the “Enable shipping” area and toggle “Enable shipping to collect…” and then the corresponding countries in the “Countries you ship to” dropdown menu.
  • To modify the support phone number and email, navigate to the “Public business” area.
  • Confirm and save bank account information edits by clicking “Save.”

SETTING HUBSPOT PAYMENT DEFAULT PAYMENT METHOD
