What if I decide to leave Stripe? Can I export Card Data?
From Stripe:
We’re pretty zealous about data portability: we’ll try to keep you with us by offering a better product than all of our competitors, but we won’t keep you by locking you in. (We’re programmers at heart, and we believe in open systems and a level playing field.) If you decide to leave Stripe for somebody else (sniff!) we’ll help you migrate your credit card data in a secure and PCI-compliant way.
We divide data into two categories—that covered by PCI requirements (e.g. raw card numbers), and everything else. The “everything else” is easy—you’re welcome to pull that information at any time via our API, nothing more is required.
For the PCI-covered data, you would just need to let us know the PCI-compliant provider to which data should be transferred. Email us and we’ll get to work right away on a secure hand-off.
And no, there’s no fee associated with this export.

How to Setup Stripe
1.) Start by going to Add-ons / Stripe and create your Stripe Account
2.) Place the Stripe Payment Link email variable into the following email templates:
Invoice
Statement
Late Payment Reminders
This will add a Pay Online button to your emails. Once the customer pays online the invoice and payment are automatically updated in GorillaDesk.
To monitor your transactions more closely, log into your Stripe.com account and see the payments logged in the Stripe merchant dashboard.
3.) With the Stripe account created, you'll now have the option to add and save one credit card per customer profile.
NOTE: If you would like your funds transferred from Stripe into your bank account within 24-48 hours, it is very important to make sure you have set your payout schedule to be 'Automatic Every Day'.
Open your Stripe account
Navigate to Balance
Then, select 'Settings'
Set your Payout Schedule to be Automatic every day
Click 'Save'
