Invoicing & payments

Get paid before you've left the street.

Invoice the job from the visit, send it by text, and your customer pays by card on their phone. Late payers get chased for you, and every invoice lands in Xero or QuickBooks.

Free for 14 days. Card payments start once you're on a paid plan.

Invoice

Invoice while you're still on site

From finished job to invoice in two taps

Open the visit and tap Create invoice. The work and prices on the visit fill the invoice in, so there's nothing to type. Tick Send invoice text message and it's on the customer's phone before you've packed up.

  • Send by text, email or both
  • Your logo, details and payment terms on every invoice

A whole day's invoices in one go

Tick the visits you've finished, from Invoicing or straight from a run on the schedule, and create every invoice at once. Choose one invoice per customer, per property or per visit, and send them all as they're created.

Stop chasing money

Late payers get chased for you

Questions

What does it cost to take card payments? +
Stripe takes its card processing fee, and SortScape adds a 0.5% platform fee. Both come out before the money reaches your bank. In Australia, card surcharges stopped on 1 October 2026, so you can't add one to the invoice any more, but the fees still apply.
Do my customers have to pay online? +
No. Pay Now is an extra option on the invoice. Customers can still pay by bank transfer or cash, and you record the payment yourself.
Which plan do I need for Xero, QuickBooks and invoice reminders? +
Xero, QuickBooks Online and automatic invoice reminders are part of SortScape Premium. Invoicing, bulk invoicing and invoices by text come with every plan (text isn't available if you invoice through QuickBooks).
Can I take card payments if I use Xero or QuickBooks? +
Pay Now works with SortScape's built-in invoicing. If you invoice through Xero or QuickBooks, take online payments there and the paid status comes back to SortScape.
Can a customer pay part of an invoice? +
Yes. Record each payment as it comes in and the invoice shows the balance still owing. Reminders ask for what's left, not the full amount.
