Payment processing for contractors and home service businesses
Take card payments on the job, send invoices from the van and collect deposits before you start, for trades, contractors and home service pros.
Get paid on the job
Home service customers increasingly want to pay by card, and getting paid at the end of the job beats waiting for a check in the mail.
- In-person payments on site when the job is done
- Invoices and payment links sent from your phone
- Deposits to cover materials before work starts
- Recurring billing for maintenance plans and service contracts
Deposits and large jobs
Larger projects such as remodels, roofing and installations often involve big tickets and payment in stages. Processors look at your typical job size and how far ahead you collect payment, so share those details in your application. Clear written estimates, milestone payments and photos of completed work all help prevent disputes.
Maintenance plans
Service agreements for HVAC, pest control, pools and lawn care are a reliable source of recurring revenue. Charging a stored card on a schedule keeps them simple. Make the terms clear and send reminders before annual renewals.
