Field Service Payment Software That Takes the Card at the Door
A dryer quits mid-cycle on a Tuesday morning. Your tech is out of there by 10:15, the machine is running, everybody's happy — and then the customer says, "just send me a bill." So you send it. It gets paid on the 30th, if it gets paid. Meanwhile you covered payroll on Friday and the parts house on the 10th. That repair was a three-week loan you made to a stranger, interest-free, and nobody asked you first.
JobField collects while your tech is still standing in the kitchen. He opens the invoice on his own iPhone, the customer taps a card or a phone against the back of it, and the charge is done — Tap to Pay on iPhone, no reader to buy. A tip prompt and a signature come up right after, the receipt goes to the customer, and the money lands in your Stripe account, not ours. The jobs you can't collect in person go out as a pay link and get paid by card online. Start a 14-day free trial — no credit card.

The card gets tapped before the truck moves
The tech's iPhone is the terminal. The machine is running again, the customer is standing right there, and that is the moment she is most willing to hand over a card — not three weeks later when a working fridge is just a fridge. He pulls up the invoice, she taps a physical card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay against the back of the phone, and it clears in about four seconds. Nothing to buy, nothing to charge overnight, nothing that ends up in the wrong van on the wrong morning. The iOS app is live on the App Store.
- Tap to Pay on iPhone — the tech's own phone takes the card
- Physical cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay all tap the same way
- No reader to buy, charge, or shuffle between trucks
A pay link for the jobs where nobody's standing there
Plenty of work doesn't end with somebody at the door holding a card. Property managers. Landlords. The daughter three states away who called about her mother's water heater. For those the invoice goes out as a link and the customer pays by card online — from a phone in a parking lot or a desk on Monday morning. It's the same invoice your tech built at the job, so the payment posts against that job with the parts and labor already on it. Nobody is reading a card number back over the phone and writing it on a work order.
- Send any invoice as a card-payment link
- Property managers and out-of-town family pay on their own time
- Payment posts to the job, so the history stays in one place
Tip, signature, receipt — the last ninety seconds
The charge clears and the app keeps going. It asks for a tip, then a signature, then puts the receipt in the customer's hands before your tech is back in the truck. The tip prompt earns more than owners expect, because most techs will never say the word out loud and the screen says it for them. The signature ends the argument about whether the work was authorized. And the receipt goes out while the customer still remembers what got fixed, instead of you digging for a copy in December when their accountant asks.
- Tip prompt fires automatically after the card clears
- Signature captured on the phone and stored with the job
- Receipt to the customer on the spot, not next week
Your Stripe account, your rate, no middleman
Most field-service platforms sit between you and the card processor and keep a slice of every charge — Workiz and Housecall Pro both run payments through their own processing. JobField doesn't touch it. You connect your own Stripe account, the charge runs on your account at whatever rate Stripe gives you, and Stripe deposits to your bank on its normal schedule. JobField adds nothing per transaction. If you ever walk away, the Stripe account and its history are still yours. Same arrangement for Twilio texting and your AI keys: you own them, you pay the provider directly.
- Connect your own Stripe — pay Stripe's rate, no JobField markup
- Deposits go straight to your bank on Stripe's schedule
- Bring your own Twilio and AI keys on the same terms
What collecting at the door does to a Friday
A repair finished on Tuesday and paid on the 30th is a loan you gave the customer for free, funded out of your own payroll account. You paid the tech Friday. You paid the parts house on the 10th. Collect at the door and that gap closes to nothing — the difference between making payroll comfortably and sweating it. The price works the same honest way: flat per company, $49, $149, or $299 a month, never per tech. Hire a fourth guy and the bill doesn't move, which is not how per-seat pricing works at Jobber or ServiceTitan.

Frequently asked questions.
Do I have to buy a card reader?
No. Tap to Pay on iPhone turns the tech's own iPhone into the terminal — the customer taps a physical card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay against the back of the phone. There's no dongle to buy, charge overnight, or hand off between trucks. If a tech is carrying Android, he sends the pay link from the same invoice screen.
Where does the money actually go?
Into your own Stripe account. You connect Stripe to JobField, the charge runs on your account, and Stripe pays out to your bank on its normal schedule. JobField never holds your money and never sits between you and the processor, so there's no waiting on a CRM to release funds it collected on your behalf.
What does JobField charge per transaction?
Nothing. Payments run on bring-your-own-keys: you connect your own Stripe account and pay Stripe's standard rate directly, at whatever rate Stripe gives you. JobField adds no per-charge markup on top. That's the real split from CRMs that resell payments — they quote one blended rate and keep the spread on every ticket you run.
How do customers pay when nobody's home?
Send the invoice as a pay link and they pay by card online, from a phone or from an office on Monday. It's the same invoice your tech built on-site, so the payment posts against that job with the parts and labor on it. The record looks identical whether the card got tapped at the door or paid remotely.
Can my techs take tips?
Yes. Right after the card clears, the app asks the customer for a tip, then a signature, then sends the receipt — one flow, before the tech walks out. Techs who would never bring it up themselves get tipped because the screen asks. The signature stays on the job if the charge is ever disputed.
Can I try it before I move my payments over?
Yes — 14 days free, no credit card. Connect your Stripe account, run a few real jobs through it, and watch the money land in your own account before you commit to anything. The iOS app is live on the App Store. Plans are $49, $149, or $299 a month flat per company.
