How It Works
1. Estimate Approved
When a customer approves an estimate, SkilledOS pre-populates an invoice with the agreed line items, tax rates, and terms.
2. Invoice Sent
Send the invoice via SMS or email with a one-tap payment link. Techs can also present it on their device for on-site collection.
3. Payment Collected
The customer pays instantly. Funds deposit to your account on Stripe's standard schedule. No chasing checks.

Common Questions
What payment methods can customers use?
Customers can pay with credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer. Payments are processed through Stripe, which handles PCI compliance so you do not need to worry about storing card data.
Can techs collect payment in the field?
Yes. Techs can send an invoice from the mobile app and the customer can tap to pay on the spot. The payment clears before the truck leaves the driveway.
Does it sync with my accounting software?
SkilledOS integrates with QuickBooks Online and Xero. Invoices, payments, and line items sync automatically so your bookkeeper always has accurate data.
