Trade focus & SMS payments
Secure bookings before you commit time
In call-outs, emergency repairs and scheduled visits, every slot costs time, travel and preparation. An SMS deposit confirms the booking in minutes and filters last-minute cancellations. You can request a fixed amount or a percentage depending on the job. Your calendar reflects paid commitments, not tentative requests. That keeps teams aligned and protects margins.
Offer instalments for higher budgets
For higher-value work, you can enable 1-4 instalments via Stripe. You receive the full amount immediately on your Stripe account. The customer spreads the cost while you keep cashflow stable. It works well for boiler replacements, fuse boxes or security doors. Each payment generates an automatic PDF receipt.
Clear tracking for every client
Payment links work without a terminal: a phone or laptop is enough. Each payment is time-stamped and tied to a client and a job. You can send deposits, balances or add-on invoices from the same interface. Real-time notifications help you follow every payment. If dates change, you still have clear proof of what was paid.
