Make Payments Work for You This Summer Season
Summer is in full swing—and for service-based businesses, it’s the busiest and most profitable time of the year. Whether you’re a landscaper, pool technician, roofer, or manage another seasonal service, demand rises with the temperature. That means more bookings, more jobs, and more payments coming your way.
But as the pace picks up, inefficient billing or slow payments can quickly get in the way. Now is the time to ensure your payment systems are set up to work for you, not against you.
Here are some smart strategies to help you streamline payments and stay focused on delivering great service all summer long.
Mobile Payments That Keep You Moving
Your customers are on the go, and your payment solutions should be too. Offering options like Text to Pay or mobile-friendly payment links gives your customers the flexibility to pay wherever they are, right from their smartphone. It’s quick, secure, and meets today’s expectations for convenience.
eChecks for Faster Cash Flow
If you’re still relying on paper checks, it might be time to rethink. Mail delays, manual processing, and deposit wait times can slow down your cash flow. Electronic check (eCheck) payments offer a faster, more efficient way to receive funds, especially for larger invoices. It’s a great way to reduce the wait and improve your bottom line.
QR Codes and Secure Payment Links
Give your customers multiple ways to pay—without extra work on your end. QR codes on printed invoices or signage let customers scan and pay instantly. Secure payment links sent by email allow for simple click-to-pay options. Both are great tools for making payments seamless and contactless, while also reducing overdue balances.
Automate to Eliminate Missed Payments
If last year ended with unpaid invoices or endless follow-ups, consider setting up auto-pay and recurring billing. These tools can help you stay ahead of accounts receivable issues and reduce the time you spend chasing down payments. Plus, they give customers peace of mind that their bills are handled without extra effort.
