Payments tuned for handyman services
Handyman Services merchants feel margin pressure when fees and holds do not match how the business really runs. That matches what we hear: take payment at.
Handyman Services merchants feel margin pressure when fees and holds do not match how the business really runs. That matches what we hear: take payment at the door or by link, no more waiting on a check. We see statements go sideways when chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear stacks with slow terminals backing up the line at peak hours. You get invoicing & pay-by-link, we make sure every swipe, dip, and tap settles at the lowest qualified interchange tier, and a written savings guarantee behind the rate.

- Chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear
- Slow terminals backing up the line at peak hours
- In-person sales billed at higher tiers than they actually qualify for
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
