Everything a payments platform should be.

Most processors give you a checkout button. Forte gives you the entire back office — payments, invoicing, analytics, integrations, security — all under one fair flat rate.

Payments

Take money any way it shows up.

Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, Klarna, Affirm. Every payment method is one Stripe Checkout away — no extra integrations, no separate vendor contracts, no plugin compatibility hell.

  • Hosted Stripe Checkout — PCI SAQ-A compliant out of the box
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay light up automatically on supported devices
  • BNPL via Klarna and Affirm for orders over $50
  • Virtual terminal — manually enter card details over the phone
  • Tap-to-pay on iPhone (in-person, no extra hardware)
  • Multi-currency display, automatic FX conversion

Invoicing

Send branded invoices in seconds.

Reusable items catalog, discount codes, subscriptions, hosted payment pages. Buyers pay by card or bank — you get a webhook the second the funds clear.

  • Hosted invoice pages with your business branding
  • Reusable items library — drop them in with one click
  • Discount codes (percent or fixed amount, redemption limits, expiry dates)
  • Recurring subscriptions with trial periods and proration
  • Auto-reminders before due dates
  • Customer portal so buyers can update card and view history

Analytics

The numbers that matter.

Revenue trends, refund rate, dispute rate, peak buying hours. Spot the dispute spike before Stripe pauses your account, not after.

  • Available / pending / today balance cards on every dashboard
  • Bank-statement ledger with running balance after every entry
  • Week-over-week revenue with percent change
  • Refund and dispute rates with industry-threshold alerts
  • Hour-of-day heatmap for peak demand
  • CSV export for transactions and payouts

Integrations

Drop in anywhere — or build your own.

One-line embed script for your website. REST API with Bearer auth for full control. Outbound webhooks with HMAC signing so your system stays in sync.

  • <script> embed for static HTML pages
  • REST API at /api/forte/v1 with Bearer auth
  • Outbound webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256
  • QR codes for in-person payments
  • Customer portal for subscription self-serve
  • Test mode toggle for safely exploring

Security

Compliance that doesn't slow you down.

PCI SAQ-A on day one — cards never touch our servers. Stripe Connect handles KYB, identity, and 1099 reporting. You stay focused on selling; we stay between you and the auditors.

  • PCI DSS SAQ-A scope (lowest compliance burden)
  • Cards collected by Stripe Elements directly to Stripe
  • KYB and identity verification handled by Stripe
  • 1099-K reporting filed by Stripe
  • Tax calculation via Stripe Tax (40+ states/regions)
  • Webhooks signed with rotatable secrets
  • 2FA required on owner accounts
