Stripe Billing sends client invoices and collects payments. Wingspan manages worker records, work, and pay. Each worker record is called a payee in the app. It keeps the selected Contractor or W-2 type. Contractors use invoices and payables for amounts owed. W-2 workers use pay statements and payroll with tax withholding.
Client work and billing terms supply Stripe invoice lines. Stripe payment updates sync back to the Wingspan client invoice. For pay-when-paid work, your team reviews the client payment and available funds. A successful client payment does not approve worker pay. Finance gives separate payer approval for contractor payables.
Use Wingspan banking or the selected Stripe Connect pay path for each contractor payment. A Stripe Transfer moves funds to a connected account balance. A Stripe Payout moves funds to the account's bank. Keep one owner for each payment to avoid sending it twice.
