RapidBridge
RapidBridge is the RapidCents payment extension that turns any web app into a checkout counter. Instead of switching tools to take a payment, your team charges a card from right inside QuickBooks Online, Xero, Shopify admin, Jane App, Clio, and dozens of other platforms — with the receipt, amount, and record already reconciled. No terminal. No separate portal. No copy-pasting totals between two screens.
What Is RapidBridge?
RapidBridge is a browser extension (available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox) that connects RapidCents payment processing directly to the web application your business already runs on. It’s payment integration in the truest sense: not a redirect, not a second login, not a new habit for your staff to learn — just a Charge button that appears exactly where you’re already working.
Think of it as a bridge between two things that used to live apart: the invoice or client record in your business software, and the payment that settles it. RapidBridge closes that gap.
Where It Works
RapidBridge is built to recognize the invoice, order, or client screens inside:
- Accounting: QuickBooks Online, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, Zoho
- Commerce: Shopify admin, WooCommerce admin
- Field service: Jobber, Housecall Pro
- Health & wellness: Jane App, Cliniko
- Legal: Clio
- And more Coming soon
- Anything else: RapidBridge's Teach mode lets it learn any other web app's layout, so your specific platform isn't locked out
Why This Means Less Manual Work
Every step RapidBridge removes is a step your team used to do by hand:
- No re-typing invoice totals into a separate terminal or payment page.
- No manually marking invoices “paid” after checking a separate settlement report.
- No end-of-day matching of terminal batches against your accounting software.
- No switching tabs, logging into a second system, or waiting on a payment link to be emailed and clicked.
For a front desk, a bookkeeper, or a solo operator running their own invoicing, that adds up to real hours back every week — and fewer chances for a payment to get logged against the wrong invoice or missed entirely.
Pre-equipped with a comprehensive modal
Rapid.js is pre-equipped with a comprehensive modal (pop-up) and input validation, enabling customers to complete their checkout without ever leaving your website or page for a seamless experience.
Built to Be Trusted With Real Money
An extension that touches payments has to earn trust, not ask for it. RapidBridge is built around a strict internal safety framework — merchants don’t need to take our word for it; the mechanics are designed so mistakes are structurally hard to make:
Your browser never holds card data.
Card entry happens on a hosted RapidCents payment window, not inside the extension. This keeps your business out of PCI-DSS scope for card storage — one less compliance burden, not one more.
No accidental double-charges
Every payment request carries a unique idempotency key. If a connection drops or a click registers twice, RapidBridge won’t submit the charge twice.
Uncertain outcomes are checked, never guessed
If a network timeout means the result of a charge is unclear, RapidBridge queries the actual transaction status instead of blindly retrying — so a customer is never charged twice because of a slow connection.
Refunds can never exceed what was captured.
This is enforced at a structural level, not a policy you have to remember.
Every payment state change is journalled.
If you ever need to reconstruct exactly what happened on a transaction — for a dispute, an audit, or your own peace of mind — the record exists.
Per-site, per-permission access
RapidBridge only activates on sites you’ve explicitly approved, and only reads the specific fields it needs to identify an invoice or amount — nothing else on the page.
Login-gated with bot-detection on unusual activity.
A sudden burst of payment attempts triggers a human-verification challenge before it can proceed, protecting your account from automated abuse.
Full light and dark theme support,
built to accessibility standard WCAG 2.2 AA, so it fits naturally into however your team already works.
RapidBridge also ships with a built-in demo mode using the same money logic as live payments, so your team can practice the full charge flow — approvals, declines, and even a simulated timeout — before a single real transaction goes through it.
FAQs
RapidBridge is a browser extension that lets merchants take a RapidCents payment directly inside the web application they already use — such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, Shopify admin, or Jane App — instead of using a separate terminal or payment page.
It’s a payment integration. RapidBridge doesn’t replace your accounting, commerce, or practice management software — it adds a payment extension layer on top of it, so charges happen in the same screen where the invoice or order already lives.
No. Card details are entered on a separate hosted payment window provided by RapidCents. The RapidBridge extension itself never receives or stores raw card data, which keeps your business outside PCI-DSS card-storage scope.
No. Every charge request is tagged with a unique idempotency key, so retries from a dropped connection or an accidental double-click cannot result in a second charge for the same transaction.
Because the charge is initiated from inside the actual invoice or client record, the payment result is tied to that record automatically — there’s no separate settlement report to manually match against your books at the end of the day.
QuickBooks Online, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, Zoho, Shopify admin, WooCommerce admin, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Jane App, Cliniko, and Clio out of the box, with a Teach mode that lets it learn additional web applications.
Yes. RapidBridge includes a demo mode that mirrors the exact money logic of live payments — including approvals, declines, and simulated timeouts — so your team can get comfortable with the flow first.
RapidBridge is built for Chrome, Edge (both Chromium-based, MV3), and Firefox.
Yes. RapidBridge is designed to work not only with popular platforms like QuickBooks Online, Xero, Shopify admin, Jane App, and Clio, but also with many custom or industry-specific web applications. Using RapidBridge’s Teach mode, the extension can learn the layout of other browser-based software so your team can take payments directly inside the system you already use. This makes RapidBridge a flexible integrated payment solution for businesses that rely on specialized software.
RapidBridge helps businesses accept payments faster and with less manual work by letting staff charge customers inside the software they already use every day. Unlike a separate terminal or standalone payment portal, RapidBridge automatically connects the payment to the correct invoice, order, or client record, reducing errors and saving time on reconciliation. For businesses looking for integrated payment processing, browser-based payments, and easier invoice reconciliation, RapidBridge offers a simpler and more efficient workflow.
