Estimate. Deposit. Paint. Get paid.
Send a sharp estimate, collect the deposit online before you buy materials, and take the final payment by card the day you finish.
The headaches we hear about
Paint jobs tie up your cash in materials and labor before you see a dime. Square lets you collect deposits up front and final payment on completion — keeping your cash flow in the black.
- Buying gallons of paint before you've collected a cent
- Chasing the final payment after the work looks great
- Customers stalling on a whole-house repaint over price
- Estimates that look thrown-together next to the competition
Tools that fit your trade
Deposits before materials
Collect a deposit online the moment they approve the estimate, so you're never out-of-pocket on paint.
Final payment on completion
Walk the job, get the nod, and take the card right there before you load the ladders.
Financing for big repaints
Let homeowners finance a whole-house job while you collect the full amount up front.
Deposit first
never float the materials
“Collecting the deposit online means I never buy paint out of my own pocket anymore. Cash flow finally makes sense.”

No problem. Tap-to-pay and the card reader work over your phone's cell signal. As long as you've got a bar or two of service, you can take a payment in the field.
