Works with the tools you already pay for.

Online payments

Clients pay by card on the invoice. The money goes to your own Stripe account.

Connect your own Stripe account and a Pay button appears on every invoice and confirmation you share. The client pays by card, the payment is recorded against the document, and the balance updates on its own. Nothing to reconcile by hand.

Your Stripe account, connected in a few clicks

• ✓ No platform fee. Payments land in your own Stripe balance, with your own dashboard, fees and payouts. 1pm takes no cut.
• ✓ Paid online means recorded. A card payment is added to the invoice with the method Card, reduces the balance owing, and marks the invoice Paid once it is cleared.
• ✓ Deposits at sign-off. The client pays the deposit when they accept the confirmation, and pays the balance later from the same link.
• ✓ Save a card on file with the client's consent, then charge the balance from the invoice without asking for their details again.
• ✓ Bank debits too. If you turn on BECS Direct Debit or ACH in your Stripe dashboard, clients can pay that way, and 1pm records the payment once Stripe confirms the money has cleared.
• ✓ Every payment says what it was for. The Stripe description carries the document number, the client and the booking with its date, so your Stripe dashboard reads like your event book.

Accounting

Raise the invoice once. Xero gets it, itemised and tax-mapped.

Connect your Xero organisation and 1pm sends your invoices and their payments straight across, so nobody rekeys figures at month end. The sync runs one way, 1pm to Xero: 1pm stays the source of truth for the invoice, and your accountant gets a faithful copy in the books.

One way: 1pm sends to Xero, Xero never changes 1pm

• ✓ Map it once. Pick the sales account invoices post to, the account payments are recorded against, and match each of your tax rates to Xero's.
• ✓ Itemised, line by line, with the right tax on each. A service charge goes across as its own line, a gratuity goes across untaxed.
• ✓ Draft or Authorised. Send invoices as drafts to review and approve in Xero (the default), or straight through as approved.
• ✓ Payments follow the invoice, whether you recorded them by hand or the client paid by card through Stripe. Taking card payments? Point them at a Stripe clearing account so Xero matches your real payouts.
• ✓ By hand or automatically. Send invoices from the sync console one at a time or all at once, or turn on auto-push and each invoice goes to Xero when you send it, edit it, or record a payment against it.
• ✓ No duplicates. Send the same invoice twice and the one already in Xero is updated. Anything that did not go across cleanly is flagged on the console with the reason.

Calendars (iCal)

Your bookings in the calendar you already check. Outside bookings shown on your Spaces.

1pm works with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar and anything else that reads a standard iCal link, including booking tools such as Acuity and Calendly. No account to connect and no permissions to grant: each direction is a private link you paste in.

Out to your calendar app, and in to a Space

• ✓ Your bookings, out. Subscribe your calendar app to a private feed and every confirmed and tentative booking sits alongside the rest of your week, in your own time zone. Reset the link any time to cut off access.
• ✓ Outside bookings, in. Connect a room's existing calendar to a Space and its busy times show on that Space, so you can check a date before you quote it. 1pm keeps the times and never the titles, and never writes to your calendar.
• ✓ Close appointment slots when a connected calendar is busy, if you turn that on, so a client cannot book a call on your booking page over something already in your diary.
• ✓ Import once when you move across. Upload a calendar (.ics) file and pick the entries that become events in 1pm, so moving to 1pm does not mean retyping a season of bookings.
• ✓ Appointments land in your diary straight away. A booking, a move or a cancellation emails you the appointment as a calendar file, rather than waiting for the feed to refresh.
