Payments tuned for plumbing
Plumbers get paid at the van, on the phone, and weeks later on a link, and each path codes differently on interchange. Emergency calls want fast mobile.
Plumbers get paid at the van, on the phone, and weeks later on a link, and each path codes differently on interchange. Emergency calls want fast mobile capture; big repipes want financing and limits that do not hold the ticket. We equip techs with field EMV, invoicing links for balances, and pay-over-time on the jobs that need it.
Sound familiar?
These are the friction points we hear most often from plumbing before a savings review.
- No clean way to take payment in the field or on the go
- Chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear
- Slow terminals backing up the line at peak hours
- Losing bigger sales when customers cannot pay all at once
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
How plumbing get paid
Your underwriting, equipment, and pricing should match this flow, not a generic countertop setup.
- Mobile swipe when the repair is done at the home
- Deposits and progress draws on larger repipes
- Pay-by-link for estimates the customer approves remotely
- Consumer financing on water heater and sewer replacements
- Commercial service calls on business cards
What we configure for your vertical
- Wireless terminals and pay-by-link tied to your dispatch flow
- High-ticket limits aligned to real repipe and sewer tickets
- Financing at approval so price shock does not kill the close
- Interchange-plus with readable effective cost per job type
- Optional recurring for maintenance agreements
Worth knowing before you switch
- Keyed card numbers over the phone widen PCI scope and inflate cost
- Holds on first large ticket often mean limits were never set right
- Waiting on checks after hours costs you the next morning dispatch slot
