Field Blasters

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

Some software becomes your payment processor. This does not.

When a platform processes payments on your behalf, they hold the money first, they own the relationship with the card networks, and their rate is whatever they decide it is. Your refunds go through them. Your disputes go through them. If they decide to hold your funds, they hold your funds.

Field Blasters connects to a Stripe account you own. 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, their saved cards and their subscriptions stay exactly where they are — in your account.

We never take a percentage of your work You pay a flat monthly fee for the software. Field Blasters takes no cut of your invoices, your plans or your card payments — not now, and it is not the business model.

Pay by link

The invoice goes out with a button. They pay it from the sofa, and it is marked paid before you have got back to the truck.

Card on file

For members and regulars. Charged on the schedule you set, with the card stored by Stripe and never by us.

A card at the door

Type it into the app on the driveway. 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

Every step carries what came before it. Nothing is typed into a second system, and nothing is reconciled 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.

This sounds obvious until you meet software that does it the other way — where changing a price rewrites your own history and a customer rings up asking why their receipt is different.

Being straight about it

Two honest caveats.

Stripe decides when you can take cards, not us Connecting takes a few minutes. Stripe then verifies your business, which is usually quick and occasionally takes a few days if they ask for documents. You can quote, schedule, work and invoice throughout — it is only card payments that wait.
One tax rate for the business Field Blasters applies a single tax rate, not rates by jurisdiction. If you work across areas with different rates, this will not do what you need.
