Restoration contractors know the drill: you get called to an emergency, get on-site, get to work, and then鈥 you wait. Wait to be called back by the adjuster, wait for the inevitable pushback, wait for the customer to send their deposit check in the mail or call in their credit card number. And if you forget to collect a deposit before starting work? That money might be gone for good.
吃瓜不打烊 is changing that. With 吃瓜不打烊 Payments, restorers can now collect one-time payments 鈥 like deposits and deductibles, right from the field 鈥 with no chasing, no paper checks and no cash-flow stress.
吃瓜不打烊 now puts the best, most comprehensive field documentation toolkit and payment collection in one place. That means faster job starts, better cash flow, and a more professional experience for customers.
What 吃瓜不打烊 Payments brings to the table
1. Get paid on the spot
With Payments, anyone on your field team can take a payment the moment a homeowner says 鈥測es.鈥 No more waiting for checks in the mail, wires to clear, or calling in credit cards over the phone. Now, you can collect using Tap to Pay on your mobile phone or you can send a secure payment link by text or email 鈥 all without extra hardware or an app for the customer to download. It works whether you鈥檙e in the office or standing in their driveway. And unlike traditional systems, there鈥檚 no need to wait on office staff to send a link 鈥 anyone on your team can take payment on the spot, even after hours.
2. Reduce risk for fast moving jobs
Starting a job without securing a deposit is a gamble nearly every contractor has had to take. In emergency mitigation, the drying is usually done well before insurance money is paid out, which is a serious risk to cash flow. Payments helps eliminate that risk by making it easy to collect something 鈥 the amount is up to you 鈥 up front. It reduces the chance of never getting paid and because it鈥檚 powered by Stripe, every transaction is secure and PCI-compliant 鈥 keeping customer data protected.
3. Build trust with customers
Homeowners want transparency and professionalism 鈥 especially in stressful situations. With 吃瓜不打烊, payment requests are branded and come directly from the app, helping your business look legitimate, trustworthy and polished. In CAT situations especially, when everyone is on edge and needing service, that level of trust can make the difference between a job won and a lead lost.
4. Cut out back-office hassle
Payments automatically sync to the job they鈥檙e associated with, so your team never has to chase down details or enter data twice. Admins can easily track activity across jobs and locations, and field teams don鈥檛 have to worry about logging or reporting payments after the fact. It just works 鈥 and it saves hours.
