Do you guys have any kind of API?

Our API is not publicly available yet. Do you have any thoughts on what you'd want to use it for?

API will be really great to integrates with Desktop apps. The app is very clean and usefull, well done!

I see in one of the screenshots there is a 3.9% fee - is that your fee as well as credit card processing?

Yep, that's Stripe's 2.9% credit card processing fee, and then 1% that we take.

Our goal in the future is to open up and accept other online payment options that have lower overall fees, as well though. We definitely want you to keep as much of the money you've earned as possible, and get it as fast as possible!

Is this available outside of the United States?

The time tracking aspect works anywhere (there are apps for iOS and Android as well). For invoicing, to accept payment, we're currently set up to work with US Bank Accounts. Your customers can pay you as long as they have a credit card.

Over time, we want to be as globally available as possible. That means more countries and more methods to pay.

Did you have any specific desktop apps in mind?

Thanks! This looks promising.

This service is worth 1% of my income? On top of 2.9% fees? For some reason, I have trouble believing that it'd be worth my while.

Is it normal in the US to pay supplier invoices through credit card payments? Nobody would pay 3,9% on amounts of more than a few hundred dollars right? A normal project invoice for say a web studio would usually be well over 10k which means you're regularly paying more than $400 to get a single invoice processed? Am i missing something or do people actually do this? Not trying to be snarky, truly curious.
