Landscape billing by month or visit
A lawn care plan can be a flat monthly service the customer subscribes to from your client portal, billed to their card every month. Or each completed mow can create its own invoice, charged to a saved card automatically. Choose per customer; both live on the same account.
Recurring jobsCharging the card on file
Customers add a card once from a link you send. From then on, sent invoices are charged to it automatically and the receipt goes out without anyone typing a card number.
Payments and saved cardsWhen a payment fails
If a card is declined, you get an email with the reason and the invoice stays open. The card is tried again the next day, and the customer can put in a new one from their link.
Statements and overdue accounts
Every customer has a statement with each invoice and payment and a running balance. The payments page groups what is owed by age, 0 to 30, 31 to 60 and over 60 days.
ReportsSeasonal and one-off work
Aeration, mulch or a spring cleanup goes on the same customer as its own job and invoice, without touching the monthly plan.
