Most businesses run on a patchwork of apps—CRM here, accounting there, a separate tool for invoices, and a gateway bolted on at the end. It “works”… until it doesn’t. Data drifts, invoices slip, and cash gets stuck in the cracks.
Stackably, offered by Coastal Payment Systems, is the operating system for revenue—connecting CRM, quotes, invoices, payments (card + ACH), and collections so field, office, and finance work from the same live source of truth.

What Stackably Replaces (and Why It Matters)
Before
Sales builds quotes in the CRM → Ops re-enters data → AR recreates invoices → Customers receive generic links from yet another system.
Reconciliation means spreadsheets, late nights, and “Who updated this?”
After (with Stackably)
Quotes, invoices, and payments live together.
One click converts a deal to an invoice, Pay-by-Link is attached automatically, and settled payments sync back to QuickBooks—without double entry.
Core Capabilities
1) CRM Integration
Create invoices from opportunities, sync customers and terms, and see real-time payment status in the CRM. Sales knows who’s current, AR knows who needs a nudge.
2) QuickBooks Integration
Two-way sync for customers, invoices, payments, and fees. Post to the right GL every time and close the books faster with clean audit trails.
3) Synced Invoices & Flexible Billing
Line items, taxes, deposits, partials, retainers, and milestone billing—all supported and kept in sync across systems.
4) Reminders & Collections (Built-In Dunning)
Automate friendly reminders before and after due dates. Segment by balance, days past due, or customer type. Add a self-service portal so customers can update payment methods and download receipts.
5) Field + Office, Connected
Reps and technicians can generate estimates and send pay links on-site, while the office sees status updates instantly. Role-based permissions and approval flows keep guardrails in place.
6) Pay-by-Link & Customer Portal
Send secure, branded links via email or SMS. Use one-time or reusable links for repeat orders and retainers. Customers can pay in seconds—no account required.
7) Integrated Payments (Card + ACH)
Accept credit/debit, contactless, and ACH in one platform. Optional Level II/III data improves approvals and can reduce B2B card costs. Tokenization and vaulted methods speed repeat payments.
8) ACH Built for B2B
Lower cost than cards, with instant account verification or micro-deposits, robust return handling, and next-day funding options (subject to approval).

The Business Case (Why CFOs & Owners Care)
