Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up recurring payments for regular clients?

Square and most systems let you save cards on file and set up automatic charges. Create a recurring invoice for weekly/biweekly clients—payment runs automatically on schedule.

Yes. Give cleaners a mobile card reader or use tap-to-pay on their phones. Square's app works on any smartphone. This is great for one-time cleans or collecting from new clients.
