Questions contractors ask
Before choosing field service payment processing
How much does payment processing really impact our cash flow?
The impact can be immediate because the payment step begins as soon as the invoice is ready instead of weeks later. Invoice links and configured field collection reduce the delay between completed work and customer payment, giving the business faster access to cash and fewer accounts to chase.
What about processing fees? Aren’t they expensive?
Fees vary by provider, card type and commercial agreement. Compare them with the less-visible cost of cheque deposits, bounced payments, staff time spent following up and the cash-flow impact of waiting for traditional payment methods. Confirm current pricing with the configured payment provider.
How do we handle deposits and partial payments for large jobs?
The workflow can be configured to collect deposits before materials are ordered, progress payments at agreed milestones and a final payment when work is complete. Each collected amount and remaining balance should stay connected to the applicable invoice and accounting process.
