Use this page to plan a time tracking workflow that feeds Stripe billing without losing the detail behind the charge. The practical outcome is a billable-hour record that can become Stripe invoice items for a specific customer, with descriptions, rates, currency, quantities, and payment status handled in the right system.
Stripe is the billing and payment layer. A time tracking app supplies the work record before billing starts. For U.S. teams, covered employers also need accurate records for nonexempt workers under the FLSA, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. Billing convenience does not replace wage-and-hour recordkeeping.
A Stripe invoice item is a component line on an invoice. For time-based billing, each line usually maps to a Stripe customer, amount or price data, currency, description, optional service period, and quantity or decimal quantity for billable hours. Stripe supports `quantity_decimal` and `unit_amount_decimal` with up to 12 decimal places, which fits fractional-hour billing.
Stripe allows up to 250 invoice items on a draft invoice. That limit makes grouping a real billing decision. A detailed invoice can group hours by project, task, person, or billing rate, but every time entry rarely needs its own Stripe line. A clean line such as "Implementation support, 14.75 hours at $120/hour" gives the client useful detail without turning the invoice into a timesheet dump.
Stripe invoice data and time records serve different jobs. Stripe amounts use the currency minor unit through the API, such as `1099` for $10.99 USD, and Stripe supports charges in over 135 currencies. Time records explain the work behind the charge, including who did it, which project it belonged to, and whether the time was billable.
A U.S. payroll record needs different checks than a Stripe invoice. Unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate. The FLSA does not require premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work unless weekly overtime or another law or agreement applies.
A Stripe invoice created through the API starts as a draft. That draft status matters because invoice items remain editable until finalization. Review the customer, currency, descriptions, quantities, rates, and service period before the invoice becomes open and can be sent or paid. Stripe can then collect payment automatically or send the invoice with a due date or `days_until_due`.
Stripe invoice lifecycle events such as `invoice.created`, `invoice.finalized`, `invoice.sent`, and `invoice.paid` can sync billing status back into reporting. Everhour does not list Stripe as a native integration in its public integration directory, so a managed Stripe workflow usually relies on exports, API access, or automation between systems. Everhour Team Management helps keep source time controlled before those records move into billing.
A one-off tool is enough when you have a small set of approved billable hours and need a Stripe-ready invoice structure for a single customer. Confirm the customer, service dates, billing rate, USD amount, and whether Stripe should charge automatically or send the invoice for payment. That workflow fits freelancers and owners who already trust the time totals.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when multiple people submit time, managers approve or reject entries, periods need to lock, and billing depends on project assignments or team groups. Everhour supports approval workflows, lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, and team groups, which creates a controlled record before Stripe billing automation uses the data.

Stripe handles billing, invoices, payment collection, and payment status events. It does not replace a time tracking system that records who worked, what task or project the time belongs to, and which hours are billable. A Stripe workflow normally receives prepared time data as invoice items or usage-style billing inputs.
A time-based Stripe invoice line should identify the customer, description, currency, rate or amount, billable quantity, and optional service period. Group entries by project, task, person, or billing rate when the client needs detail. Stripe's 250-invoice-item limit makes grouping important for larger time reports.
Stripe invoice items support decimal quantities and decimal unit amounts with up to 12 decimal places. That supports fractional-hour billing, such as 2.25 hours or 14.75 hours, as long as the integration maps time records into quantity and rate fields correctly.
Keep the Stripe invoice in draft until the billable time, customer, descriptions, currency, quantities, and rates have been reviewed. A draft invoice remains editable. After finalization, it becomes open and can be sent to the customer or collected through an attached payment method.
Stripe billing records do not satisfy every timekeeping need. Covered employers under the FLSA must keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, including daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek. Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records for at least two years.
Everhour Team Management gives admins lock rules, approval workflows, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, and team groups. Those controls help teams approve and protect source time before exports, API workflows, or automation turn approved hours into Stripe billing data.
Approve, lock, and organize team time before Stripe billing starts. Everhour Team Management gives teams cleaner source records for invoice automation and client billing.
