Getting paid should be as smooth as everything else. Connect your payment processor and you can collect money right from the same place you talk to customers.
What you can do: send a payment link by text or email, collect a deposit at the point of booking, and invoice customers for the balance. Payments are logged against the contact and reflected in your pipeline, so your job board shows what's actually been paid.
Why deposits matter: collecting even a small deposit when a job is booked dramatically cuts no-shows and smooths your cash flow - people show up for what they've paid toward.
Setup is a quick connect of your payment account, usually done during or after your onboarding call.
Tip: make paying a deposit part of booking higher-value jobs by default. It filters out tyre-kickers and protects your calendar.
