Invoicing & Payments

Get paid in seconds, not net-30

Get paid by card or bank transfer in seconds — send a secure Stripe link by text, email, or copy, collect deposits up front, and watch every payment reconcile itself.

Turn net-30 paper into same-day cash flow

Real Stripe processing with your own business name on the customer's card statement — not some third party's. Invoices generate secure pay pages that take cards and bank transfers (ACH), collect deposit-only payments, optionally pass on processing fees, and handle full and partial refunds. Every dollar collected posts to the invoice automatically the moment it clears, turning net-30 paper into same-day cash flow.

One link, three channels

Send a payment link 3 ways

The same two-step dialog, three ways to deliver it — whichever channel your customer answers fastest.

01

Copy the link

Grab the secure public pay-page URL with one click and drop it anywhere — a text thread, a DM, your own follow-up note. Same link, your channel.

02

Email it

Send the invoice straight from the dialog, delivered and tracked, so you know it landed instead of wondering if it hit a spam folder.

03

Text it

Fire off a pre-filled text with the pay link already written in. The customer taps once and pays from their phone before the crew has left the driveway.

How a payment flows

It reconciles itself

From the moment you send the link to the moment your books are updated — no one touches a spreadsheet.

1

Link sent

A secure pay link opens the customer's pay page.

2

Customer pays

Card or bank transfer (ACH) via Stripe.

3

It reconciles

The payment posts to the invoice the second money clears.

4

Books updated

Paid amount, status, and deposit — recorded automatically.

What you get

Every dollar, accounted for

Built on Stripe, tuned for the way lighting crews actually collect.

Pay links that work for 30 days, and post themselves

Every invoice gets a secure pay link that stays live for 30 days — so a link texted today still works in three weeks — and the payment posts to the invoice automatically the moment it clears, no spreadsheet required.

Card and bank transfer (ACH), under your name

Take cards or U.S. bank transfers (ACH) through Stripe, with your own business name on the customer's card statement — not some third party's.

Deposit-aware targeting

Collect just the deposit — fixed or percentage — when one is due, then the balance later. The deposit won't release until a required contract is signed.

Send a payment link three ways

A two-step “Send a payment link” dialog offers Copy, Email (delivered and tracked), or pre-filled Text, so staff can send the very same link three different ways.

Optional processing surcharge, shown up front

Choose to pass the card processing fee to the customer — set your own percent and flat amount with a custom label, shown to them before they pay, with a built-in warning for states that restrict it.

Refunds and one-off charges

Issue full or partial refunds in a couple of clicks, with the money sent back to the customer — plus standalone payment links for charging a customer without writing up a full invoice.

Card + bank transfer

Two ways to collect, under your business name

Deposit-aware

Take the deposit now, the balance later

30-day links

A link texted today still works in three weeks

Stop chasing checks. Start collecting.
