Features

  • Multiple payment methods

    Payment options include credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, ACH bank transfer and Afterpay, in person or online.

  • Automated billing and reminders

    Recurring billing and automatic payment reminders are sent before, on or after the due date to reduce overdue invoices.

  • E-signature estimates and contracts

    Estimates, invoices and contracts can be reviewed and signed with e-signature, and accepted estimates convert into invoices automatically.

  • Invoice status and reporting

    The Dashboard shows whether invoices are paid, unpaid or overdue, with insights across locations, employees, items, services and payments.

  • Batch and milestone payments

    Batch invoicing sends a single invoice to multiple recipients, and flexible payment schedules split a job into milestone-based payments on one invoice.

What users say

Pros

  • Card, debit and ACH payment routes are all available, and ACH trims the processing cost.
  • Stored client details and reusable service templates cut re-typing on repeat jobs.
  • Invoices are built and sent from a phone, including by text message.
  • The dashboard shows when an invoice is opened and which balances are past due.

Cons

  • Card processing fees run high enough to eat into margins or get passed onto the bill.
  • Advanced invoicing and reporting sit behind higher tiers, with separate charges for individual extras.
  • Logo and colour changes are the extent of branding, so invoices look plainer than other billing documents.
  • Fake invoices arrive through the platform, and requests to block the sending accounts go unresolved.
