Pay by card or ACH
Paid — receipt sent to you both

Customer pays from the link, you both get a receipt, and your income records stay complete — even for cash and check jobs you record by hand.

Invoices that send themselves

For recurring jobs, turn on auto-invoicing and DoorstepHQ creates and sends the invoice after each visit — right after the appointment or at the end of the day, your call. Mow Tuesday, invoice goes out Tuesday, without you touching anything.

Customers who save a card can be charged automatically when the invoice goes out — the job finishes, the payment lands, and everyone gets a receipt. Quoting a job first? Quotes work the same way and convert to invoices in one tap.

Do customers actually pay faster?

Yes — because paying takes one tap instead of finding a checkbook. Every invoice links to a secure payment page where your customer pays by card or bank transfer, and unpaid invoices get automatic reminders so you never have to send the awkward "just checking in on that invoice" text again.

Need money up front? Request a deposit and the invoice tracks the remaining balance automatically. Partial payments work the same way — every dollar accounted for.

Every payment counted — even cash

Not every customer pays online, and that's fine. Record cash, check, Venmo, or any other payment on the invoice and DoorstepHQ marks it paid, sends a receipt, and files it into your income reports — so tax time is a download, not a shoebox of guesses.

Receipts go out either way, and every payment lands in your income reports — so your books reflect reality, not just the online part of it.

Customer doesn't do email? We'll mail it.

Some of your best customers don't text and don't check email — and they still deserve a professional invoice. With the Mailed Invoices add-on, tap once and we print your invoice, stamp it, and drop it in the mail for you within one business day. Postage included.

Delivery is tracked the whole way, and if the mail comes back, DoorstepHQ flags the address so you can fix it — no more wondering whether the invoice ever arrived.

Sales tax, figured for you

Set your tax rate once and choose what it applies to — your labor, your materials, or the whole job. From then on, every quote and invoice calculates the tax line automatically and shows it clearly to your customer. No mental math in the driveway, no forgetting it entirely and eating the difference.

Odd job that needs different treatment? Override the tax on any single quote or invoice without touching your defaults.

Invoicing questions, answered

Is DoorstepHQ's invoicing really free?

Yes — unlimited quotes and invoices, unlimited customers, no credit card to sign up, and no trial that runs out. Invoicing is part of the free core platform.

Can my customers pay an invoice online?

Yes. Every invoice includes a secure link where your customer can pay by card or bank transfer from their phone — no app, no account. The money goes straight to your bank.

Does it send payment reminders automatically?

Yes. Unpaid invoices get polite automatic reminders on a schedule you choose — every 3, 7, 14, or 30 days, with a cap on how many go out. Quotes can get gentle follow-ups too, so you never have to chase.

Can I ask for a deposit?

Yes. Request a deposit on any invoice — your customer pays the deposit online, and the invoice tracks the remaining balance until it's fully paid. Partial payments are supported too.

Can invoices send themselves for recurring jobs?

Yes. Turn on auto-invoicing for any recurring job and DoorstepHQ creates and sends the invoice after each visit. Customers with a saved card can even be charged automatically.

What if my customer pays cash, check, or Venmo?

Record the payment on the invoice with the method they used, and DoorstepHQ marks it paid, sends a receipt, and keeps your income records complete for tax time.

Can I invoice a customer who doesn't have email or text?

Yes. With the Mailed Invoices add-on, DoorstepHQ prints your invoice, stamps it, and mails it to your customer within one business day — postage included. Delivery is tracked, and returned mail gets flagged so you know if the address needs fixing.

Does it handle sales tax?

Yes. Set your tax rate once and choose what it applies to — labor, materials, or the whole job. Every quote and invoice calculates tax automatically, and you can override it on any single job.
