Where fire protection billing breaks down

The day-to-day friction every fire protection owner recognizes.

Annual inspection contracts billed manually each year

Forgetting to invoice = unpaid inspection = liability if something goes wrong. Recurring auto-charge eliminates the risk.

Multi-building corporate accounts hard to invoice

30 buildings × 12 visits/year = a lot of line items. Smarfle bundles into one monthly recurring invoice.

Emergency repair calls don't get billed promptly

Tech finishes the emergency, drives home, paper invoice waits a week. One-click invoice from WO + auto-send fixes it.

How Smarfle handles fire protection 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.

Fire Protection 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.
Set up the inspection as an annual recurring service. Customer's card saves on first invoice, auto-charge handles renewals.
Yes. Recurring monthly invoice itemizes each building's visit. One charge to the corporate AP; one auto-charge per month.
Tech marks the WO complete from the field. Owner generates the invoice in one click + sends — customer's saved card auto-charges if enabled.
