# Invoicing & Payments for Plumbing Contractors

Invoicing that collects before the truck leaves

Invoices go out the moment the job closes, customers pay by card on the spot, and commercial accounts get chased automatically until they pay.

## Why it works for this trade
- **Paid at job completion:** The invoice is ready when the work is done — most residential jobs collect the same day.
- **No more invoice backlog:** Billing stops being a Sunday-night chore; every completed job is invoiced without you lifting a finger.
- **Commercial balances chased:** Property managers and GC accounts get professional follow-up on aging invoices until they're settled.

## A day in the life
Your tech finishes a water heater install at noon. The invoice lands in the customer's inbox at 12:05, they tap to pay by card, and the job is fully reconciled by 12:10.

## FAQ
Q: Can customers pay the tech on site?
A: Yes — invoices include online card and ACH payment, so customers can pay from their phone before the tech leaves.
