How these solutions fit foundation repair contractors

See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

Square Invoices

For foundation repair contractors: Send itemized invoices for project deposits, progress invoices and final balances and track deposits, due dates and outstanding balances.

Square Invoices sends estimates and invoices by email, SMS or a shareable link and tracks what's paid, unpaid or overdue. Roots configures the templates, payment schedules and reminders around how you bill.
  • Build your service catalog, tax settings and branded invoice and estimate templates
  • Set up deposit and milestone schedules that match your contracts and any state limits you operate under
  • Connect Square to QuickBooks Online or Xero so paid invoices reconcile automatically

Credit Card Surcharging

For foundation repair contractors: Plan credit-card surcharge disclosures for project deposits, progress invoices and final balances, keeping eligible card payments distinct at checkout. Typical tickets for foundation repair contractors run $5,000 to $60,000. Where it's allowed, a compliant surcharge offsets card costs on the larger ones. A surcharge adds a disclosed fee to credit card payments only. Visa caps it at 3% or your cost of acceptance, whichever is lower, and some states ban or cap it.
  • Check your states and card mix before you start
  • Configure terminals, invoices and receipts
  • Provide compliant signage and invoice language
