Monthly plans or per-visit billing

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 jobs

Charging 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 cards

When 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.

Reports

Seasonal 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.
