Get paid in the driveway from Sqyre Hub: invoices, Apple Pay, and the receipt

Get paid in the driveway from Sqyre Hub: invoices, Apple Pay, and the receipt

The driveway is the register. Hub can invoice and take payment before the van door shuts. Waiting until tonight is how paid work becomes a favor.

The simple idea

Busy is not profit. A full board can still starve the bank if you invoice tonight and hope for Friday. The driveway is the register.

Sqyre Hub can create the invoice on the client record, send it, and take payment while you are still on the street. Sqyre Team supports on-site payment workflows and Tap to Pay compatibility so the tech is not helpless if the owner is on another roof.

If you had to explain it to a new office person, you would say this. We get paid when the work is done, not when someone remembers the invoice.

A normal weekday

A $600 hose bib and drywall patch looked fine on paper. Parts were $140. Labor and the drive ate $260. The customer said they would mail a check. Two weeks later the check had not come.

The Hub version of that day is boring. Invoice from the profile. Payment before the van door shuts. Home’s outstanding does not grow. See profit before the truck leaves.

Apple Pay and the link

Homeowners already pay coffee with a tap. Asking them to find a checkbook is how you lose the moment. Apple Pay, a hosted link, a card on file from a member: those are the tools.

The payments page is the web map. Hub is the pocket version. Do not rebuild this in Venmo to a personal name. That is how taxes and refunds become a mess.

Needs billing is a status

Projects in Hub can sit in needs billing. That is a queue, not a feeling. Browse it on Thursday. If a finished stop is not in that list, the tech completed in a vacuum. Team and Hub have to share the job.

What people get wrong

They are polite about money in the driveway and stern about it in email. Reverse that. Be clear on site. Be short in email.

They also discount because they forgot to invoice extras. The form should have captured the extra. The invoice should have the extra. Hub cannot bill a hose you never wrote down.

If you are training someone this week

Take payment on the next finished job before the truck leaves. Once. Then again.

The only sentence they are allowed to say is this one. I can take payment now. The receipt will be on your phone before I leave. If they apologize for asking, train them again.

How money moves on the phone

Client profile, invoice, pay, receipt. Hub Home’s outstanding should fall. Needs billing should empty. Team can start the payment workflow on site when the owner is on another roof. Tap to Pay compatibility is for the driveway that does not want a clip-on reader lecture.

Apple Pay is already in the customer’s muscle memory. A hosted link is for the spouse inside. A card on file is for members. Venmo to a first name is not a system.

Deposits still belong on the calendar before the big day. Driveway collection is for finished work. Do not mix them. A deposit holds a week. A driveway payment closes a ticket.

A week of cash

Monday post the visit fee. Tuesday collect that fee on the first diagnostic. Wednesday invoice extras the form captured. Thursday clear needs billing. Friday look at outstanding and refuse to let it grow because you were polite.

If a customer says they will mail a check, you can still say the card now keeps the warranty clock honest. Practice the sentence. Polite and unpaid is still unpaid.

Jason can chase. You should not need him first.

Reminders are for the slips. The driveway is for the default. If Jason is doing all of your collecting, you are leaving money on streets you already drove.

Scripts that do not grovel

“The total is $640. I can take a card or Apple Pay now and the receipt will hit your email before I leave.”

“Warranty starts when this is paid. I can run it here.”

“I will not email an invoice into the void. We close it on site.”

Practice out loud. If you apologize in the script, delete the apology.

Members versus one-offs

Members may have a card on file. Still confirm. One-offs should pay the visit before you diagnose if that is your rule. Do not invent a new rule in the driveway because they seem nice.

Failed payments

Home should show it. Try again. Offer a link. Do not leave with a smile and a failure. A failed tap is still unpaid.

Splitting with a spouse

Send the link inside. Stand in the driveway. Do not drive away “so they can discuss.” Discussion without a link is a no.

Refunds and voids

Do them on the record. Do not Venmo money back from a personal account. Hub should show the void. Accounting should not have to hunt your private app.

Cash

If you take cash, log it. A cash job that never hits Hub is how you lie to yourself about a good week. Team and Hub both need the payment type.

Tips

If you allow tips, they should not replace the invoice. Collect the invoice first. Tip is extra. Mixing them is how a $600 job becomes a $40 Venmo and a story.

A 14-day cash drill

Monday: post the visit fee. Tuesday: collect that fee on the first diagnostic. Wednesday: invoice extras the form captured. Thursday: clear needs billing. Friday: outstanding must not grow because you were polite. Week two: one Apple Pay, one hosted link to a spouse, one failed tap retried, one cash job logged, zero Venmo to a first name.

The numbers on one job

A missed quote on the owner phone is not a small miss. It is a house that hired the shop that answered. Hub and Team exist so the yes, the clock, and the photo happen on the stop, not tonight on the couch.

Questions people ask
