Step-by-step

How interior design billing works in Smarfle

From the first touch to the closed loop. No missing pieces.

  1. 1

    Customer signs up for recurring service

    Via portal subscribe button or office-generated first invoice. Card saves to Stripe Customer.

  2. 2

    Auto-charge runs on schedule

    Daily cron processes recurring invoices, charges saved cards off-session. interior design owner sleeps; revenue lands.

  3. 3

    Failed cards trigger retries + emails

    Stripe auto-retries 3-4 times. If all fail, customer gets an email link to update their card. No manual chase.

  4. 4

    Customer gets receipt + invoice instantly

    Each successful charge fires a receipt email + creates a Paid invoice in Smarfle. Aging report stays clean.

  5. 5

    Owner sees monthly recurring revenue

    Subscription dashboard shows what's coming next 30 days. Cashflow forecasting actually possible.

Where interior design billing breaks down

The 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.

The math for interior design owners

Cut AR by 80% on recurring revenue

Auto-charge saved cards for recurring service contracts. Failed payments auto-retry + email customer. The chasing-payments task disappears.
