Invoicing & payments

Automated invoicing and Stripe payment links for service businesses

The job is done, but the invoice waits until someone has time on Friday. Then someone else checks the bank to see who paid. VertiQ builds automated invoicing for service businesses where completed work becomes an invoice with a payment link, payment status comes back on its own and reminders go out without anyone chasing.

Sound familiar?

  • Invoices go out days after the job because someone has to build each one by hand.
  • Checking who paid means comparing the bank statement against a spreadsheet line by line.
  • Reminders for overdue invoices depend on someone feeling comfortable asking.
  • The job record and the payment record never quite match.

What we build

Invoices created from completed work

When a job is marked done, the invoice is created from the job’s own details and sent to the customer. Nobody retypes line items.

Stripe payment links

Each invoice carries a Stripe payment link so the customer can pay by card from their phone. Other options, like bank transfer, can be shown alongside it.

Payment status read back automatically

When a payment comes through, the status is read from Stripe and the job or invoice is marked paid. Your team stops checking by hand.

Friendly and overdue reminders

A polite reminder before the due date and a firmer one after it, on a schedule you choose. Once the invoice is paid, the reminders stop and a thank-you goes out.

Recurring and partner billing

For monthly invoices to partners or regular clients, each invoice is built and sent on schedule, with its own payment link and follow-up.

How it works

  1. 1

    Trace the money from job to bank

    We follow a few recent jobs from completion to payment and note every place an amount is typed, checked or chased.

  2. 2

    Set the billing rules

    We agree on when an invoice is created, what it contains, the reminder schedule and what counts as paid. You see the plan and a defined estimate before we build.

  3. 3

    Connect, test with real payments, hand over

    We connect your job records to Stripe in your own account, test with real invoices and hand over SOPs, walkthrough videos and live training.

Invoicing & payments: questions, answered

No. We focus on the step between finished work and collected payment. Where your current tools allow it, we connect to them rather than replace them, and we explain any trade-offs before suggesting a change.
Yes, and it stays in your name. Payments go straight to your account, and VertiQ never holds your money.
It depends on how your jobs are recorded today and how many payment options you need. We give you a defined plan and estimate before building, so you know what each phase covers.
Yes. The Stripe link can sit alongside other methods. Transfers usually need a quick check by someone on your team, and we design that step so it takes as little time as possible.
