Step-by-step

How security & alarm 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. security & alarm 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 security & alarm billing breaks down

The friction every security & alarm owner recognizes.

✕

Monitoring contracts cancelled because manual billing feels like a hassle

Customer feels nickel-and-dimed when you invoice monthly. Saved card + auto-charge = seamless.

✕

Install deposits slow

$3K install needs 50% deposit. Pay Now + ACH lands deposit same-day, install crew dispatched next morning.

✕

Trouble call payment chased

Tech fixes the trouble call, customer says 'send me the bill'. Saved card + auto-charge eliminates the chase.
