Recurring Billing

For pool & spa service: Schedule and manage payments for lawn-maintenance plans and recurring garden visits, including renewals and customer account balances. Plans and memberships give pool service companies predictable revenue, and autopay stops the chasing. Recurring billing charges a saved card or bank account on a schedule, with retries when a payment fails.
  • Design plan structures and billing dates
  • Set up clear authorization and cancellation terms
  • Import existing autopay customers where permitted

Merchant Account

For pool & spa service: Arrange a processing account for lawn services, landscape projects and maintenance charges, with checkout methods matched to how customers pay. Typical tickets for pool service companies run $100 to $250 per month; repairs to $5,000, and a merchant account's limits and pricing can be set for that range. A dedicated merchant account gives you custom pricing and processing limits set during underwriting. Roots uses it when Square isn't the right fit.

  • Underwriting and application support
