Operators running General Contractors juggle counter, remote, and recurring revenue in the same week. In practice: progress payments, deposits, and financing for big jobs, with clean invoicing and supplier-card savings. The usual break points are business and government cards costing far more than they should and high-ticket sales triggering holds, declines, or steep fees. Our setup targets level 2 & 3 optimization for general contractors, not a one-size countertop bundle.
