Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of receiving payments early? 

Novo Boost reduces your cash flow friction, enabling you to access your money faster when you need it. When you receive money from your Stripe account into your Novo account with Novo Boost, you have the freedom to reinvest in your business or pay yourself and others much sooner.

Can I receive Novo Boost payments without a Stripe account?

As of now, you must have an active Stripe account integrated with your Novo account to receive Novo Boost payments through the open beta. If you don’t have a Stripe account, sign up with Novo and receive $20,000 in fee-free processing - plus access to betas and events. 

If you haven’t yet connected your Novo account to your Stripe account, head to the Apps section of your dashboard or app. When you click on Stripe, a link will appear for you to fill out the form and submit it to Stripe to activate your perk 

If you’ve already integrated Stripe into your Novo app, continue to your Apps section and select Stripe. Press the small i next to the Stripe title to see the full information card and get access to your perks.

What is the difference between Novo Boost and other instant payment options? 

Most other instant payment options will charge you a fee per transaction, costing you anywhere from 1-2% of the transaction amount. This adds up over time and can cost you significantly in the long run. On the other hand, Novo Boost payments are always free. 

Which payments qualify for Novo Boost?

In order to qualify for the Novo Boost open beta, a payout must be automatic, rather than manual. 

Can I connect multiple Stripe accounts to Novo?

As of now, Novo only allows one Stripe connection per Novo account. If you have multiple accounts, we recommend connecting the account that receives the largest payouts so that you can receive the most money in your Novo account as quickly as possible. 

What happens if my Stripe account gets disconnected?

If your Stripe account disconnects from your Novo account, simply follow the steps above to reconnect the two.
