Estimates that turn into invoices
Send a quote customers accept online, then bill from it without retyping a thing.
Services
Built for the job site, the office and the road.
Service businesses get paid in more ways than most: on site, by invoice, by the hour, in stages or every month. The right setup makes each of those easy to send and easy to pay.
Square, made easier with Payaroo.

Square features services owners ask about
Estimates
Send an estimate the customer accepts online, then turn it into an invoice; multi-option estimates and automatic conversion are on paid plans.
Deposits and payment schedules
Ask for a deposit up front and split the balance; milestone schedules of up to 12 payments need a paid plan.
Recurring invoices
Invoices that go out on a schedule and can charge a saved card or verified bank account automatically.
Card on file
Save a customer's card to their profile — with their signed authorization — to charge later from the POS, invoices or the Appointments calendar.

A booking site that syncs with your calendar, plus Book Now buttons on Instagram and Facebook and booking from Google.

Offer services at your place, the client's location, both, or by phone or video; collecting the client's address when they book online needs a paid plan.
