Collecting payments from customers doesn’t need to be a separate task from your fieldwork. If your team is already using CompanyCam to document jobs, you can also collect payments without opening another app, switching tools, or heading back to the office.
Whether you’re wrapping up a job, collecting a deposit, or billing for a change order, CompanyCam gives you three flexible ways to request and collect payments from anywhere.
1. Tap to Pay (Right From Your Phone)
If your customer is on site, the easiest option is Tap to Pay. Open the CompanyCam app, pull up the project, and accept a card payment right from your phone — no card reader required.
This works well when:
You’re closing out a job in person
A customer wants to take care of payment immediately
You want to avoid sending follow-up invoices later
Tap to Pay keeps the payment process fast and focused. No hardware to carry, no setup time, and no chasing checks.
2. Send a Secure Payment Link
Not all customers are on site. For remote clients or office contacts, you can send a secure payment link by text or email. They’ll receive a request with the amount due, plus options to pay with a card, ACH, or Apple Pay.
Use this when:
A customer needs time to review before paying
A project involves remote decision-makers
You want to give clients flexibility in how they pay
This method is convenient for the customer and lets your team stay in motion without waiting around.
3. Include a Photo Job Summary
Sometimes the best way to support a payment request is to show what was done. In CompanyCam, you can build and attach a job summary with project photos that show your work before, during, or after the job.
Your summary could include:
Completion photos
Install or repair documentation
Notes on scope changes or conditions
Visual proof builds trust and supports your price without needing a long explanation. It’s especially useful for same-day changes, repairs, or detailed work that might not be visible at first glance.
How to Choose What Payment Option Works Best
You don’t have to pick just one method for requesting payments. Many teams use all three depending on the situation:
The key is to make collecting payments a part of the work, not a separate task that adds time or friction.
- Use Tap to Pay when the customer is on site and ready to pay.
- Use Payment Link for remote clients or off-site approvals.
- Use Photo Summary to show work completed and support the request.
