What It Does
Luminous is an invoicing and payables tool for freelancers and small teams. Connect it to your Aethel business account and every invoice you send gets a pay-with-crypto option next to card and bank transfer.
When a customer pays, the funds arrive in Aethel and Luminous marks the invoice as paid with the amount and rate used. Teams that pay contractors in stablecoins can also schedule those payouts from Luminous and approve them in Aethel.
How to Connect
- In Luminous, open Settings → Payments and select Aethel.
- Sign in to your Aethel business account and approve the connection.
- Choose the coins you accept and your settlement currency.
- Send a test invoice to yourself and pay a small amount.
- Optional: turn on contractor payouts and add approvers.
Permissions and Security
Luminous connects through OAuth. It can create payment requests and read their status. Outgoing payouts are only drafts until an approver confirms them in Aethel with two-factor authentication.
- Luminous cannot send funds without an approval in Aethel.
- Payout approvals require two-factor authentication.
- Disconnect anytime. Paid invoices keep their payment records.
Good to Know
Invoices can list the price in your local currency while the customer pays in crypto. The rate is fixed when the customer opens the payment page, and the amount received is recorded on the invoice for your records.
