Invoicing built for the slow drain — not the slow software.
From water heater swaps to 2 AM emergency calls. Quote the re-pipe on the spot, collect a deposit before you break ground, and text the pay link from your own number when the water is back on.
- Deposits on water heater installs and re-pipes
- Before-and-after photos on every invoice
- Text the pay link from YOUR phone — customer sees your number
- Works in the basement and crawl space (offline mode)
Where it hurts
Five things that drain your week.
The stuff the other invoicing apps weren't built to handle.
2 AM water heater rupture. Homeowner pays by check that arrives in 11 days.
Invoice Link: Text the pay link before you leave the driveway. Customer pays by Apple Pay, card, or ACH right there. Check payments still work — record them in two taps.
Senior customers don't use email, don't have Venmo, won't do cards.
Invoice Link: Text from your own phone number — they recognize it. Print a clean PDF with a QR code they can hand to anyone. Mail it if you have to. All three work.
Re-pipe job runs $4,800. Customer wants to put half on a card.
Invoice Link: Partial payments track automatically. Invoice flips to 'Partially Paid' with the balance showing. Or collect a deposit upfront and the rest at completion.
Commercial kitchen job waits 60 days. By day 45 you forget to chase.
Invoice Link: Automatic reminders go out on day 3, 7, 14, and 30. Polite, professional, on autopilot. You stay on the tools.
Showed up for a callback and couldn't remember which house it was.
Invoice Link: Every customer profile has a Street View photo of the house. Pull up in front, look at your phone, know you're at the right place.
What you get
The plumber-shaped parts.
Real features for real plumbing work. No generic SaaS checklist.
Deposits on big installs
Collect 20% up front on water heater installs, re-pipes, and expansion tank work. Percentage or fixed dollar — your call.
Photos of the rough-in and trim
Snap up to 5 photos per invoice. Before the drywall goes back up, during, and after. Proof of work for the homeowner and the code inspector.
Line items in feet, hours, or each
Custom unit labels — pick 'Linear Ft' for PEX, 'Hour' for service time, 'Each' for fixtures. The customer sees exactly what they're paying for.
Quote on the spot
Estimate right at the kitchen table. Customer taps Accept or Reject in the browser. Sign with a finger. Convert to an invoice when the water is back on — one tap.
Recurring for service plans
Backflow testing, water softener service, commercial drain contracts — set a weekly, monthly, or quarterly cadence. Pause, resume, or skip a cycle any time.
ACH for the $10K commercial jobs
ACH costs your customer about 5 bucks in fees on a $10,000 invoice instead of $290 on a card. Quiet way to give your best customers a discount without discounting the work.
Property data before the estimate
One tap pulls square footage, beds, baths, and year built. Quoting a whole-house repipe? Now you know the square footage before you drive over.
Stripe pay link in seconds
Customer only has a card? Text or email a Stripe pay link from the app — they pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay from their phone — or use PayPal if you have it connected. No reader, no hardware.
Voice AI from the truck cab
Say 'Invoice the Robertson job $640 for the kitchen faucet swap.' The app builds it. Gloves on, hands dirty, doesn't matter.
On the job
A plumber's day, run through the app.
Three real moments. Before Invoice Link vs. after.
Ruptured water heater. Two-hour install, $1,340 including the pan and the strap.
You finish the install, snap a photo of the new unit, open the app, pull up the customer from her street (Street View helps you confirm the house), add the water heater as a line item, tag the pan and strap as sub-items, text her a Stripe pay link. Money hits your bank in 1-2 business days. You're back on the road in 3 minutes.
Homeowner wants a quote on a full repipe. Galvanized to PEX. You're going to need a deposit.
Build the estimate on your phone at the kitchen table. 180 feet of PEX, four fixture reconnects, drywall patch credit. Set a 25% deposit. Send it as a PDF with a QR code. Homeowner signs with a finger. Deposit gets collected on the spot — you order materials that afternoon.
Restaurant manager can't sign. He says 'email the invoice to accounts@parent-co.com.'
You email it directly from the app. Customer gets the PDF with a pay link. Accounts Payable opens it — you get a push notification the moment they open the invoice. They pay by ACH a week later. Automatic reminders went out on day 3 and day 7 so you didn't have to chase. Done.

Questions
Straight answers.
Can I collect a deposit before I order materials?
Yes. Set a deposit on any invoice — percentage or fixed dollar. Your customer pays the deposit upfront; the rest comes due on completion. The app tracks the balance automatically.
What about customers who only pay by check?
Record the check in two taps. No fee, no processing. You can also print a clean PDF of the invoice with a QR code on it — hand it over or mail it, the customer can still pay online if they change their mind.
Do you handle recurring work — backflow testing, commercial grease trap service, water softener maintenance?
Yes. Recurring invoices support weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom schedules. Pause when a customer closes for the season, resume when they reopen, skip a cycle if a visit falls through.
I work in crawl spaces and basements with no signal. Does it work offline?
Yes. Create invoices, estimates, and take photos with no signal. Everything queues on your phone and syncs the second you reconnect.
Can I attach before-and-after photos?
Up to five photos per invoice. Snap them on the spot — they attach to the invoice and ride with the PDF. Code inspectors and homeowners both appreciate the record.
