Getting paid with Apple Pay

Quotrr takes payment with Apple Pay. The customer pays from the same link they used to sign, on their own phone, with Face ID or Touch ID. No card reader to carry, no terminal to rent, no app for them to install.

How an Apple Pay payment works

When a payment is due, the customer opens their job portal from the magic link and pays with Apple Pay in a couple of taps. The money is tied to the job, so the payment shows up against the right record and your per-job margin updates. You do not reconcile a separate payment app against your job list by hand. See Sending the magic-link customer portal for the portal the customer uses.

Where Apple Pay fits in the job

Apple Pay is how you collect at every money moment in a job: a deposit when they sign, progress payments as the work advances, a change order mid-job, and the final balance. See Payment milestones and Change orders for the stage-tied pieces.

Card payments are coming

Not every customer has Apple Pay set up, so card payments are on the way. They are not live yet. We are being straight about that on purpose: we will not show you a feature that takes a card and then quietly fails. When card payments are live, you will know, and this article will say so. Until then, Apple Pay is the live method, and it covers a large share of homeowners on iPhone.

Why Apple Pay first

We started with Apple Pay because it is the fastest way for a homeowner on an iPhone to pay you without you carrying hardware or them digging out a card. The customer is already on their phone, already in the portal following the job. Paying is a thumb and a glance. The less friction between you finishing the work and the money landing, the sooner you get paid, which is the whole point. Cards will widen the door to customers who do not use Apple Pay, and they are coming.

Honest money state

Quotrr does not blur the line between paid and not paid. A payment shows as collected only when the money actually moved through Apple Pay. There is no button that marks a job paid on a promise. See Invoicing basics for how we treat sent versus paid.

Apple Pay is part of the core. For what Premium adds, see Billing and Premium.

No hardware, no extra app for the customer

You do not carry a card reader, rent a terminal, or ask the customer to download anything. The payment happens inside the portal they already opened from your link. That matters on a driveway at the end of a job, when the alternative is fumbling for a square reader or telling the customer you will email an invoice later and then chasing it for two weeks. The money moves while you are still standing there, on a device the customer already trusts.
