Deposits up front and easy final payment.

In depth

Getting paid shouldn't mean handing a percentage to a middleman or locking yourself to one processor. Payments run on your merchant accounts, so you keep your rates and your relationship.

How it works

  • A deposit is collected at booking, straight from the estimate link.
  • The invoice is generated from the estimate — no re-typing line items.
  • The customer pays by card, cash or check, and it's recorded against the job.
  • Every payment flows into the P&L, so your numbers stay real.

What you get

  • Five payment processors — Stripe, Square, Authorize.Net, Clover and Zelle — on your own merchant accounts.
  • Deposits from the estimate link, before the truck rolls.
  • Online card payments, plus cash and check recorded against the job.
  • Automatic US sales tax by state and positional invoicing.
  • Card data handled by certified processors — we never store card numbers.

Why it's different

The payment rails are yours. Five processors on your own merchant accounts means no lock-in and no cut to us — we don't hold your money or your customers' cards.

Stripe, Square, Authorize.Net, Clover and Zelle — connected to your own merchant accounts.

No. Payments run on your merchant accounts, and card data is handled by the certified processors — we never store card numbers.

Yes — a card deposit is available from the estimate link, so a customer can confirm the booking before a truck rolls.

Yes — US sales tax is applied automatically by state on the invoice.

Cash and check payments are recorded against the job alongside card payments, so the P&L stays accurate.

Yes — Scam Check. From the request, a manager sends the customer a link to verify a photo ID and a live selfie through Stripe Identity. Until the check passes, the deposit can’t be paid and the job can’t be confirmed. It runs on your own Stripe account with Stripe Identity approved; Stripe charges per check, and the ID photos stay with Stripe.

Yes. Set a custom deposit as a part payment or as the full payment. The customer gets a “Pay deposit” or “Pay for my move” button, and a full payment locks the price.
