Invoicing for contractors
Win the job, take the deposit, get the balance.
Remodels, repairs and renovations start with an estimate the customer approves from their phone, with a deposit if you ask for one. When the work is done, the invoice goes out with a link to pay by card or bank transfer, and reminders follow up for you.

Made for the way contractors work
The paperwork side of the job, on the phone already in your pocket.
- Estimates they can approve
- Send the scope and price as an estimate. The customer taps Approve on their phone, and it becomes an invoice with the same terms.
- Deposit before materials
- Ask for part up front. The customer pays it when they approve, so the materials are not on your own card.
- Big bills, paid your way
- Customers can pay a large invoice by card or straight from a bank account, and split bigger bills with Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay or Zip while you are paid in full.
- Subs and crew on the app
- Invite helpers to make and collect invoices from their own phones. Refunds and settings stay with you.
How a job gets paid
- Quote it. Send an estimate. The customer taps Approve, with a deposit if you asked for one.
- Do the job. Add lines as you go, or type them in plain words and let Quick add fill them in.
- Collect on the spot. Tap Collect now and show the QR code. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, bank or pay over time.
- Let reminders chase the rest. Polite emails before and after the due date, stopping the moment it's paid.

Questions from contractors
Can I send an estimate and take a deposit?
Yes. Add a deposit to the estimate. The customer pays it online when they approve, and the balance is due when the work is done.
Can I invoice a long job in stages?
Yes. Make a separate invoice for each stage, such as demolition, rough-in and finish, and send each when that stage is done.
Can customers pay a large invoice by bank transfer?
Yes. You choose whether to offer bank payments, and customers pay straight from their bank account on a secure Stripe page. Bank payments take a few extra days to clear.
