How Do You Set Up Stripe Payments and Automated Google Reviews on the GoHighLevel $97 Starter Plan?

Answer: Both Stripe payments (Text2Pay links, invoices, and card checkout) and automated Google review requests are included on GoHighLevel's $97/month Starter plan. Connect Stripe under Payments > Integrations, connect your Google Business Profile under Settings > Integrations, and build a single workflow that texts a Google review link 2 hours after an invoice is paid.

Cause
  • New HighLevel users often wonder if payment processing and automated Google review follow-ups require upgrading to the $297 or $497 plan
  • or they try to trigger review texts manually after every job and forget to follow up once the invoice clears.
GoHighLevel Configuration
  • Use the built-in Payments and Reputation tools already included on the $97 Starter plan.
  • Link Stripe in Payments > Integrations, link your Google Business Profile in Settings > Integrations, and create a workflow triggered by Invoice Status = Paid that waits 2 hours and sends the native Send Review Request action.
