Vodia Networks utilizes Stripe as its payment processor for billing on its hosted PBX services, enabling both postpay and prepaid billing options for customers. This integration allows for seamless electronic transfers between a customer’s bank and Vodia, simplifying the payment process for users. By setting up various billing plans and assigning them to domains, administrators can effectively manage customer payments while ensuring sensitive payment information, such as credit card details, are securely handled through Stripe's infrastructure. This approach not only enhances billing efficiency but also strengthens data security and compliance with payment regulations.
How Stripe Payment Works. Stripe is a payment processor, which means it supports the electronic transfer of money from a customer’s bank (issuing bank) into a merchant’s bank (acquiring bank) as payment for goods or services bought with a credit card. Vodia uses Stripe for postpay or pre-pays on the Vodia hosted PBX. We will discuss how to set up your Stripe account with Vodia billing.
