What it does
- Send a deposit invoice by text or email in under a minute when the customer signs
- Send the balance invoice from the yard on the final walk
- Customers pay both by card online
- See which jobs paid the deposit, which are waiting, and who owes the balance, in one list
Why it matters
Fence materials are paid up front. On a 180-foot wood privacy job at $6,950, a 30% deposit is $2,085, which covers most of the lumber, posts and concrete before you order. The balance of $4,865 is due when the fence is up. A deposit that sits unpaid for a week is a job that is not on your schedule yet, and a balance you chase for a month is money you already spent on the next job's material.
Deposit rules to know
Some states cap the deposit a contractor can take before work starts, often 10% to 33% or $1,000 on home improvement contracts. Check your state's rule and put the percentage in your quote.
