Enable pay-per-post payments from clients

On the Recruiter plan, you can enable payment settings to require clients to pay for each job they'd like to post.

You can optionally also allow them to buy a promoted job slot to get increased exposure.

Your payment processing relationship is completely between your business and Stripe. Dropboard facilitates the checkout flow for you, but everything related to processing payments will be performed by Stripe.

Stripe integration

Click on "Clients" and then "Plans & Payment" and then "Set Up Payments."

You'll be redirected to Stripe's website where they will collect business and pay-out information from you. If you already have a Stripe account, you'll be able to sign in to that account. If not, no worries! Stripe's onboarding forms will help you get everything set up.

Setup status

If Stripe has everything they need to collect payments on your behalf, you'll see a "Payment collection enabled" message within Dropboard.

Update or create a client plan

Promoted jobs

If you want clients to be able to pay a little extra to have their jobs promoted, check the box as shown below and choose a price point.

Plan assignment

If you have multiple plans, be sure to assign the appropriate plan to your client by visiting the "Clients" menu item and clicking "Edit" next to any client.

Checkout flow for clients

When clients log into your portal and click the button to create a new job post, they'll be redirected to a checkout flow that begins like so:

After they payment goes through, they will be redirected back to your white-labeled Dropboard site to post their job.

Payment history

At any time, your clients can click on "Purchase History" and see a listing of every purchase they've made with you. Each purchase will come with a link to view their receipt which will be branded based on your settings with Stripe.

In the same way, you can view purchases from all of your clients through the "Clients" and then "Client Purchases" menu link.
