Where interior design billing breaks down

The day-to-day friction every interior design owner recognizes.

✕

Design fee deposits slow to collect

$5K design deposit by check = 5-7 days. ACH via Pay Now lands next-day for 0.8% capped at $5.

✕

Furniture procurement deposits chased

Vendors need 50% upfront — without fast deposit collection, project slips. Pay Now link with ACH lands deposits same-day.

✕

Monthly hourly billing inconsistent

Hourly time logged but invoiced manually = late billing + AR drag. Auto-monthly billing of logged hours fixes it.

How Smarfle handles interior design 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.

Interior Design 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.
ACH via Pay Now link — 0.8% capped at $5. For $10K+ deposits, beats card fees by hundreds. Lands next-day.
Time tracking on each project auto-aggregates monthly. Smarfle generates the monthly invoice with billable hours + auto-charges saved card.
Yes. Each milestone (concept approval, design completion, install) is a separate invoice tagged to project. Saved card auto-charges with one click.
