If you have the Stripe integration enabled, you may notice transactions labeled as “Incomplete” on your dashboard in Stripe. These are normal and don’t indicate any issue with the integration or your payments.

When your clients choose to pay their invoice online via Stripe, Stripe's API requires Harvest to create a "payment intent." This is triggered at the moment your client clicks on the ACH or credit card option. Here is what your client sees when they select to pay via credit card:

If your client doesn’t complete the payment process, the transaction will be marked with the "Incomplete" label in Stripe. This doesn’t indicate an issue or error.
