Where auto detailing billing breaks down

The day-to-day friction every auto detailing owner recognizes.

Membership signups don't actually get charged monthly

Without recurring billing automation, your monthly detail membership becomes a one-time payment. Saved card + auto-charge fixes it.

Fleet account contracts billed manually each month

30 cars/month for a fleet customer = 30 line items to invoice manually. Recurring service template + auto-invoice eliminates the manual work.

Ceramic coating deposit + balance due on completion

Customer paid 50% deposit, balance owed on completion. Without saved card, you have to chase the balance. With it, one-click charge.

How Smarfle handles auto detailing billing

Recurring billing, auto-charge saved cards, Stripe Connect with 0.5% platform fee, automatic overdue reminders.

Recurring billing on auto-pilot

Set up monthly, quarterly, or annual service plans. Customer signs up once, Smarfle bills the same card every cycle, no manual invoicing required.

Save card on file

Stripe Customer + saved payment method per client. After their first payment, future charges run off-session — no link to click, no card to re-enter.

Auto-charge saved cards

Daily cron auto-charges saved cards for recurring invoices. Owner gets confirmation email when payment lands; client gets a receipt. Failed cards trigger an email asking the client to update.

Stripe Connect (your account, not ours)

Money goes straight to your bank via Stripe Connect Express. We charge 0.5% platform fee on top of Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢. ACH for invoices over $1k drops to 0.8% (cap $5).

Automated overdue reminders

Smarfle auto-marks invoices overdue past due date and sends email reminders to the client. Workflow automation can fire SMS reminders too.

Auto Detailing Billing Software CRM questions

Create a service in Smarfle marked 'recurring' with an interval (weekly/monthly/quarterly/annually). When a client signs up via the portal or you generate the first invoice, Smarfle creates a Stripe Subscription on your connected Stripe account. Stripe bills the saved card automatically every cycle. Each successful charge auto-creates a paid invoice in your CRM.
Money goes straight to your Stripe account, not ours. We use Stripe Connect Express — Stripe holds the funds, transfers to your bank on your payout schedule. Smarfle never touches the money. You see the deposit in your bank within 2 business days (Standard payout) or instant (Stripe Instant Payout, fee applies).
Stripe automatically retries failed cards 3-4 times over a week. If all retries fail, Smarfle marks the subscription Past Due and emails the client a Stripe-hosted update-card link. Owner gets a notification too. The recurring invoice stays unpaid until the client fixes the card.
Yes. Recurring service template with monthly cadence, customer signs up via portal or you generate the first invoice. Card saves, auto-charge handles future months.
Set the fleet customer up with a recurring monthly invoice that itemizes each car detailed. Auto-charge against their card on the same day each month.
Yes. Generate a deposit invoice (50% of total), customer pays, card saves. On completion, one-click charge the saved card for the balance.
