Payments tuned for cleaning services
Cleaning companies win on recurring residential and commercial routes, not one-off cash jobs. Autopay on file, mid-month adds, and occasional deep cleans.
Cleaning companies win on recurring residential and commercial routes, not one-off cash jobs. Autopay on file, mid-month adds, and occasional deep cleans mix CNP rebills with in-person tips on move-outs. Failed rebills and manual invoicing eat office time you already do not have. We automate recurring with card updater, mobile capture for one-offs, and statements that show route margin.
Sound familiar?
These are the friction points we hear most often from cleaning services before a savings review.
- Recurring billing that is clumsy or quietly drops saved cards
- No clean way to take payment in the field or on the go
- Chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear
- Fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
How cleaning services get paid
Your underwriting, equipment, and pricing should match this flow, not a generic countertop setup.
- Monthly residential and office cleaning on autopay
- Move-out and deep cleans paid on site or by link
- Commercial contracts on business cards or invoiced links
- Add-on services billed to cards already on file
- Occasional CNP when the client is not home
What we configure for your vertical
- Tokenized recurring with updater and smart retries
- Pay-by-link for one-time and commercial balances
- Mobile readers for teams in the field
- Interchange-plus without junk fees on high transaction counts
- PCI scope reduction so card data never lives in a spreadsheet
Worth knowing before you switch
- Storing cards in Google Sheets is not vaulting
- Silent rebill failures look like churn until you audit the vault
- Blended rates punish high-count, lower-ticket recurring volume
