GET PAID
BEFORE YOU
LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY.
The job-aware payment system for trades
TradePay knows where every truck is. Your tech gets the alert, opens a pre-filled charge for the right job and amount, then taps Tap to Pay so the customer can pay on the tech's phone.
Built for plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, landscapers — and any trade that bills on-site.
Solo or 10-truck, $200 ticket or $5k — every job paid before your tech leaves the driveway.
Your tech says "Just TradePay me." The customer taps. Invoice closed. You see it in the dashboard before they back out of the driveway.
How it works
Five triggers. Zero friction.
📍
Pull up to the job
TradePay knows the truck has arrived. No check-in, no button, no opening the app.
🛻
Park the truck
Not a drive-by. The system knows the difference between passing and being there.
🚶
Walk to the door
A beat to confirm they're on-site. Then it moves.
🔔
Tech gets the alert
"Looks like you're at Hartwell Residence. Tap to collect $485."
📲
Customer taps the tech's phone
The charge opens pre-filled. Tech taps Tap to Pay, customer taps, receipt fires, invoice closes.
💳
📍
5+ taps with every other tool.
1 tap with TradePay.
Nothing left for the back office to chase.
My techs stopped chasing paper. We collect before they leave the driveway — every job, every time.

See it in action
From the driveway to the dashboard.
1
Sorted by distance.
Open the app — the closest job is the hero, 1-tap NFC ready. Same flow as the alert.
2
Paid. Receipt sent.
Invoice closes, receipt fires to the customer's inbox, the tech's already back in the truck.

Scope change on-site?
Quick Charge: enter the amount, hold the customer's card to your phone. No invoice required.
No invoice. No problem.
Tech used Quick Charge — no invoice attached. Reconcaile reads the payment amount, job history, and customer context, then drafts the right invoice automatically.
Reconcaile ranks the match. High confidence — swipe to approve. Job closed. Nothing left for the back office to chase.
Every job. Every dollar.
Revenue MTD, open jobs, what's still out for collection — all reconciled in one place. Nothing chased by hand.
Every scenario covered
Invoice exists. Or it doesn't. Either way.
One job. Done insanely well.Easy enough that techs actually use it, fast enough that every job collects on-site, clean enough that every job is closed before they reach the truck.
🔔
Smart Alerts
Auto-detects arrival and departure. One tap on the tech notification opens the right job and amount, ready to collect.
⚡
Quick Charge
Scope changed on-site? Tap +, enter the amount, collect immediately. Payment-first, always — no invoice required.
🧾
Fast Field Invoicing
Some customers want to see an invoice before they'll pay. Tap items from the catalog — line items, tax, and total in seconds. Never a blocker, just a faster yes.
🔗
Customer Pay Links
Customer's not on-site, or wants to review before paying? Send a pay link from the job. They pay from anywhere — no chase, no check in the mail.
💳
Cards on File
Repeat customer? Their card is already saved. One tap from the tech's phone — the customer doesn't even need to pull theirs out.
💸
Financing, No Friction
Big-ticket job? Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay built into the pay link. Customers get terms — you get paid today.

A $10k commercial transfer costs $10 via ACH on Control or Close. Keep card payments fast in the field, and offer bank transfer when a larger invoice calls for it.
Yes, absolutely — keep using your existing tools for invoicing and scheduling, slot in TradePay for the collection step. Direct QuickBooks sync is on the roadmap. CSV exports of payments, invoices, and customers are available on Close.
What do I need to start collecting?
An iPhone with Tap to Pay support, or an NFC-capable Android phone. Neither needs extra hardware. Phones without NFC can pair an optional Bluetooth Stripe Terminal reader. You'll connect a Stripe account on signup; that's it.
When do funds hit my bank account?
TradePay never touches the money. Payments flow through Stripe Connect directly to your bank. You control your payout schedule from your Stripe dashboard — typically as fast as next business day after Stripe's standard verification window.
What can my customers pay with?
On-site: any contactless card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or watch tap. Saved card on file: charged with one tap from your phone. Pay link: card, Apple/Google Pay, ACH, Cash App — plus Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay financing for big-ticket jobs.
Can I record cash payments?
Yes. Techs can log cash collected on-site from their phone, and it lands in the same payment history as card payments — so reporting and reconciliation stay in one place.
Does it work without internet?
Browsing your jobs and customers works on poor signal. Card collection itself needs a live connection — that's a Stripe constraint, not ours. Things you create or edit while offline (a new job, a customer update) queue locally and sync the moment you're back online.
How do refunds work?
Full or partial, initiated in TradePay and processed through Stripe. The customer gets the money back to the same card. Invoice status updates automatically — no manual reconciliation.
Is my customer's card data safe?
Card data never touches TradePay's servers. Everything goes through Stripe — the same processor used by Amazon, Shopify, and Lyft. We're PCI-compliant by design: we never store card numbers, only Stripe's tokenized references.
Can my office team use it too?
Yes. Admins handle billing, onboarding, and reporting from the web app. Techs collect payments and manage their jobs from mobile. Up to 5 users on Control, 10 on Close. Everyone shares the same customers, jobs, and payment history.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, from the Stripe billing portal in your settings. No cancellation fees, no phone calls, no retention scripts.
