Frequently Asked Questions
How do movers collect payment at delivery?
Equip crews with mobile card readers (Square Reader). Calculate final amount based on actual time/weight, collect payment on-site. Customer gets receipt via email. Always have card reader charged and hotspot backup.
What's the best deposit workflow for moving?
Send invoice for deposit (typically 10-25%) at booking via Square Invoices. Store card on file for balance. At delivery, charge remaining amount. For local moves, some collect full payment on completion.
