Payments from your accountant and friends: who sees what, and what you approve

When someone else prepares payments for you — an accountant your invoices, a friend the settle-up after a shared weekend — they don't have to e-mail them to you, and you don't have to retype them. Just connect your accounts:

  1. In Settings → Connected accounts the accountant clicks "Invite a client" and sends you the generated link (through any channel — the app doesn't send it itself).
  2. You open the link while signed in and confirm the connection. You see exactly who is inviting you and what they gain.
  3. From then on the accountant can prepare a payment for you: in the new payment form they pick "Create for" and your address. The payment shows up on your dashboard like any other — with a QR code ready to pay.

Who sees and controls what

  • The payment is yours. You pay it, edit it, snooze it — the accountant doesn't touch it after creating it.
  • The accountant only sees the status of the payments they delegated (paid / pending) in the connection overview. They don't see your dashboard, your other payments or any balances.
  • Either side can end the connection at any time in Settings. Payments already prepared stay with you; the accountant simply stops seeing their status.

Three trust levels — you decide

For every contact you choose in Settings (and can change any time) how the app treats their payments:

  • No approval (accountant) — full trust: the payment goes straight into your queue. No extra work; you see the QR code, pay, done.
  • Trusted friend — behaves the same until you tick "Also approve payments from trusted friends" in Settings. One checkbox switches all friends at once.
  • With approval (the default) — a payment from the contact arrives as a request: you'll find it under the "Awaiting approval" filter on Payments, review the details and approve or decline. Until then it is never offered for paying and its QR code stays blocked.
  • And if it ever comes to that, a contact can be blocked — they can't send you anything anymore, and a fresh invitation won't help them either.

Once connected, either side can send payments — the mode is always set by the one who receives them. The dashboard also gets a "From contacts" filter with all unpaid payments your contacts prepared for you.

Why an invitation link, not an e-mail match

The connection binds to your account, not to an e-mail address — accounts created via Google, Apple or a sign-in link may not have a stable address. You deliver the link with its one-time code (valid for 7 days) any way you like, and the app knows the connection was confirmed by the actual signed-in account owner.
