Getting Set Up

Set up your provider account, first service, payouts, and first payment.

Once your provider account is approved, Newie is built so you can take your first payment quickly. This page gives the shortest path, with links to detailed help when needed.

1. Create Your Account

   Download Newie on iPhone or Mac, or open the web app. Sign up, verify your email where prompted, and fill in your profile details, such as name, business name where relevant, profession, service details, and profile photo.

   See Account & Profile for the full setup.

2. Create Your First Service

   A service is what customers buy from you. Newie supports three types:

   • Subscription - recurring billing on a schedule (weekly, monthly, etc.) until paused or cancelled.
   • One-Off Purchase - a single-purchase service with one invoice and payment.
   • Installment Plan - a fixed total split across a set number of scheduled payments.

   In the app, go to Sell → Services → New Service, choose the type, name it, set the price, and save. You can come back later to add Terms of Service, digital downloads, a Welcome Email, intro pricing, setup fees, or BNPL where eligible.

   See Services for service-type details, pricing options, intro pricing, setup fees, and digital downloads.

3. Set Up Payouts

   Complete payout setup when Newie prompts you during onboarding or from the Home screen. Select the country where your bank account or business is based, then continue to Stripe to complete payout onboarding, including bank account, identity, and business details.

   See Payouts for payout schedules, payment clearing time, and Instant Payouts.

4. Share Your Service

   Common ways to take a customer through to payment include:

   • Link. Every service gets a customer-facing link (share.newie.app/offerings/...) you can paste anywhere — Instagram, email, SMS, iMessage, your website.
   • QR Code. Download or display a QR code customers scan to open the same payment page.
   • Tap to Pay. Take an in-person card or digital wallet payment on a supported iPhone after Tap to Pay has been enabled separately.

   See Selling Overview for full details on each.

5. Take Your First Payment

   When a customer pays, Newie automatically:

   • Sends them a Purchase Confirmation email (and a Welcome Email if you’ve configured one).
   • Adds the funds to your Newie payout balances while they clear.
   • Sends you a push notification and email for the new sale.

   For US and AU card payments, funds usually clear in 2 business days, then go out on your scheduled payout to your bank account. Other regions, first-payout periods, weekends, public holidays, account reviews, and payment methods can change timing. Newie also supports Instant Payouts for eligible providers and eligible funds.

   See Payouts for detailed clearing times and bank-arrival details.

Moving Existing Stripe Customers

If you already have lots of active customers or subscriptions in Stripe, contact Newie before manually cancelling subscriptions or asking everyone to sign up again.

Newie can support guided Stripe migrations and help you plan how existing customers, billing, pricing, start dates, and customer communication should move into Newie.

See Switch to Newie for the full migration planning guide.
