New Flooring Payment Features

toLet’s face it: getting paid shouldn't be a hassle.

For too long, flooring and rug businesses have dealt with clunky invoicing tools, awkward payment handoffs, and slow customer follow-through. But those days are over.

With Service Buddy's latest release, built-in payments just got a major upgrade: card on file transactions, default online payment methods, and Apple Pay support. We're talking next-level convenience, faster cash flow, and a better buying experience for your customers. Here's how these updates are transforming payment workflows for flooring businesses nationwide.

Card on File Transactions: Built for Repeat Clients

Ever wish you could just charge a client without chasing them down every time?

Now you can. Our new "Card on File" feature lets you securely store a customer’s preferred payment method and charge them automatically for recurring services, change orders, or future jobs.

Why it matters for flooring stores:

• Ideal for repeat customers:
• Property managers
• Realtors
• High-end clients who want hassle-free service
• Reduces late payments and follow-up time
• Improves cash flow by ensuring you get paid immediately upon job completion

Real-world scenario:

A long-time customer calls in to schedule carpet cleaning every quarter. Instead of re-entering their card or waiting for a check, you simply confirm the date, complete the job, and their card is charged instantly. Done.

Default Payment Methods: Smoother Online Checkouts

Let your clients decide how they want to pay—once. Then never ask again.

When a customer pays online through your Service Buddy link, they can now save and set a default payment method for future use. That means fewer clicks, less confusion, and quicker payments.

Why your customers love it:

• Saves time on repeat payments
• Feels modern, easy, and familiar (like Amazon or Uber)
• Builds trust in your business’s professionalism

Why you’ll love it:

• Reduced payment friction = more on-time payments
• No more "How do I pay again?" calls or emails

Bonus tip: Encourage customers to save their method during the first payment and watch your collection times drop dramatically.

Apple Pay Now Available: Tap, Done, Paid

Mobile-friendly payments aren't just a nice-to-have—they're a must.

That's why Service Buddy now supports Apple Pay for all online payments. Customers can pay with a quick tap using their iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Why this is a game changer:

• Apple Pay is fast, secure, and trusted by millions
• Eliminates the need to enter card details manually
• Perfect for busy customers on the go

Picture this:

Your client gets your invoice while at work. Instead of digging through their wallet, they double-click their phone and pay in 5 seconds. That’s the kind of experience that keeps customers coming back.

Or imagine a designer receiving multiple invoices in one morning. With Apple Pay, they can knock out payments quickly and get back to their day.

Why These Upgrades Matter Now More Than Ever

In the flooring industry, trust and ease-of-doing-business are everything.

These payment upgrades remove friction from the one part of your business that impacts every single job: getting paid. And when payments are smooth, everything else runs smoother too—from scheduling to materials to customer satisfaction.

Plus, with more homeowners and commercial clients expecting digital, mobile-friendly experiences, staying ahead of the curve isn't optional. It's how you'll win more referrals, retain more clients, and stand out in a crowded market.
