Getting paid

How to get paid as a painter when the job wraps up

The final walkthrough is the natural payment moment because the customer can see the work, approve the finish, and settle the balance.

Step 1

Keep deposits, change orders, and remaining balance connected to the painting job.

Step 2

Confirm acceptance and the final amount before the crew leaves the property.

Step 3

Collect the balance or send a job-linked pay link so final payment does not turn into follow-up.

The problem

Getting paid should not be the hardest part of a finished job.

Final walkthroughs end cleanly, but payment gets sent to the office.

Deposits and balances need to stay connected to the job.

Unpaid final balances are easy to miss once the crew moves on.

What changes

The job closes with payment status attached.

TradePay is not trying to replace every tool in your business. It focuses on the part that keeps cash moving: collect on site, send a clean receipt, and know what still needs follow-up.

Before TradePay

Payment lives in a reader report, text thread, invoice app, or someone's memory.

With TradePay

The job, customer, amount, payment, receipt, and follow-up status stay connected.
