Paid before
you've packed
the van.

Trades don’t lose money on the job. They lose it on the fortnight afterwards, chasing a transfer that was promised on Friday. Take the card on the doorstep and the problem disappears.

Live within the week

Services, durations, prices and staff loaded in — usually an afternoon's work. You take bookings the same week.

Keep your diary and your clients

Coming off Fresha, Treatwell or paper? We migrate the client list and forward bookings so nothing drops.

Your rules, enforced automatically

Deposits, cancellation windows and no-show fees set the way you want — so the system has the awkward conversation, not you.

What it does

Materials covered.
Balance on
completion.

Card payment on the doorstep

A Square Terminal in your kit. The customer pays before you leave, which is the entire game.

Deposits for materials

Take a deposit up front so you're not funding someone else's copper and consumables out of your own account.

Quotes that convert

Estimate sent from the van, accepted online, converted straight to an invoice when the job's done. No paperwork evening.

A diary that isn't your phone

Jobs booked with reminders to the customer, so fewer wasted trips to houses with nobody home.

Works with no signal

Payments process offline and sync later — which matters in basements, new builds and rural properties.

Which jobs actually pay

Revenue by job type and customer. Some call-outs look busy and earn nothing; the numbers say which.

A day on the job

Call-out to
cleared payment.

The difference between a good year and a bad one is usually debtor days, not day rate.

01

Call — booked with a reminder

Slot booked, customer reminded the day before. Fewer wasted journeys to an empty house.

02

Quote — deposit for materials

Estimate sent, accepted, deposit taken. You buy materials with their money, not yours.

03

Job done — paid on the spot

Card tapped on your phone, receipt emailed instantly. No invoice to raise that evening.

04

Next month — nothing outstanding

No debtor list, no chasing calls. The month closes clean and you can see what the work actually earned.

Questions

The ones we get asked.

Do I need a card machine?

A Square Terminal takes contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay, runs a full day on a charge and prints a receipt when the customer wants one.

Can I take a deposit before I buy materials?

Yes, and you should on anything material-heavy. Sent as a request, paid by card, so you aren't out of pocket while the job runs.

What if there's no phone signal on site?

Payments process offline and sync when you're back in coverage. Basements and new builds are exactly why that exists.

Is there a monthly cost if I'm a sole trader?

Not on the Starter plan — a quoted rate only when you take a payment, and nothing when you don't. For most sole traders that's the right starting point.
