Getting paid
Your money, your bank, your name on the statement.
Field Blasters does not sit between you and your customers' money. You connect your own Stripe account, the payments settle to your own bank, and your customers see your business on their card statement.
Why that matters
Your payments run through an account you own.
Field Blasters connects to a Stripe account you own, so the money and the relationship with your payment processor stay yours. You keep your own Stripe dashboard and log into it whenever you like. You handle your own refunds and see your own disputes. You negotiate your own rate as your volume grows. If you ever leave, your customers and their saved cards stay exactly where they are — in your account.
Pay by link
The invoice goes out with a button. They pay it from the sofa, and it is marked paid before you are back in the truck. The invoice itself is a proper one: your name and address, theirs, the dates, every line with its quantity and rate, every payment on its own row, your terms, and a note if you have something to say.
Card on file
For members and regulars — plan or no plan. Put a card on file with the customer's OK, or send them a link that opens straight on adding it, and the app writes down who said yes and when; it charges nothing until someone confirms a charge. Then charge a job's invoice to it in one tap, or start their plan on it. A member's plan card is their card on file too — extra work at that property goes on it the same way.
Customers can add or replace their own card from their account page, and the card is stored by Stripe, not by us.
A card at the door
Pick how they're paying — the card on file, a card now, cash, check or something else — and only that shows. Same account, same records, no separate terminal to reconcile at the end of the week.
The chain
Quote to money, without retyping.
- Build a quote from your price book
- Send it as a link; they approve it themselves
- The approved quote becomes a job on the board
- The finished job becomes an invoice
- The paid invoice closes the record
- You get an email for every payment that lands — who, how much, and how they paid
Every step carries what came before it, so there is no retyping into a second system and no reconciling by hand at month end.
What is written down
History does not move when today does.
Raise your prices and last month's invoices do not change. A quote you sent in March keeps March's prices even if the customer accepts it in June. A membership agreement says what it said on the day they agreed to it.
So your records stay put, and a customer's receipt matches what they agreed to.
The Money tab
Your balance, your payouts, every card payment — without opening Stripe.
More → Money shows what Stripe is holding for you right now, what is still settling, and when the next payout lands in your bank. One button, Pay out now: one tap, no other screens, no questions — when Stripe has cleared your account for instant payouts the money is in your bank in about thirty minutes, any day of the week, less Stripe's fee. (If your Stripe account joined by signing in rather than being created here, Stripe asks for a key of yours first — one minute, once, right under the button.) Every payout, every card payment with its refund or dispute, your statements and reports — all on the same screen, in the app's own colors.
- Stripe's "we need something from you" notices appear at the top of the tab, so you hear it from us first
- Refund a payment from the transactions list and the invoice updates the way it always has
- Who may see the money and who may move it are two separate checkboxes on the Team page, per person
- It is still your own Stripe account: log into Stripe whenever you like; you just will not need to
Reports
Ten questions, already answered.
More → Reports reads your own records — nothing to set up, nothing to keep in step. Pick a period and each tile says its number; tap one and it opens with the rows behind it, a filter for the technician and the kind of work, and an export for your bookkeeper.
- Payments, completed work and what is still unpaid
- Quotes sent and won, as a rate
- Memberships: the monthly figure and who is on what
- Commission: what each person earned, what is owed now, what has been paid
- By service — grouped by the price-book item, so renaming a service never splits its history
- By technician, new against returning customers, and emails opened
