Frequently Asked Questions

How do plumbers collect payment on service calls?

Equip techs with Square Reader or Clover Go. Create invoice on-site showing parts and labor, collect card payment, email receipt. For areas with no signal, Square's offline mode queues transactions.

Collect deposit (30-50%) when contract signed via Square Invoice. For progress payments on large jobs, invoice at milestones. Offer financing (GreenSky, Synchrony) for expensive projects like repiping.
