Where general contractor billing breaks down
The day-to-day friction every general contractor owner recognizes.
Deposit collection drags the start date
Without ACH or card payment link, deposit takes 3-5 business days. Smarfle's Pay Now link lands deposits same-day.
Milestone invoices forgotten mid-project
20% at deposit, 30% at framing, 30% at finish, 20% at completion. Without milestone tracking on the project, you forget the framing invoice.
Change orders not invoiced separately
Customer adds tile upgrade mid-project. Without a change-order workflow you absorb the cost.
How Smarfle handles general contractor 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.
