PartialCollect after-hours without re-typing card numbers
US leaders package text-to-pay tightly. Workshop Wrench ships payment records and pay URLs on invoices, portal pay path, and Stripe Checkout that is Stub without keys and live when configured — never Connected theatre by default.

The problem
What breaks without this process
Cash sits in AR because customers only pay when they pick up, and staff re-key card details over the phone.
Why it matters
Rationale — profit, risk, and shop floor truth
- 01
Pay links reduce counter friction and after-hours collection.
- 02
Portal + invoice path keeps decisions and money on the same job history.
- 03
Honest Stripe modes prevent demo lies about live charges.
- 04
AR visibility on the owner dashboard only works if payments post correctly.

Is Stripe live in every demo?+
No. Without STRIPE_SECRET_KEY the path is an honest stub. With keys, Checkout can run in that environment — SaaS subscription billing is a separate stub.
