Payments & POS for Home Services.
Quote it, do it, get paid before you leave the driveway. No counter required.
You don’t have a checkout counter, so you don’t need one. Your business runs on estimates, invoices, and getting paid on the spot — different products, usually a cheaper setup. Plenty of people will happily sell you a register you’ll never use. We’d rather put you on the right thing.
The realities of this business.
Getting paid on-site instead of chasing an invoice for three weeks
Writing an estimate in a customer’s kitchen, from your phone
No fixed counter — the “checkout” is wherever you’re standing
Deposits on scheduled work booked weeks out
Recurring and maintenance customers on a regular cycle
Several techs, in several places, all taking payment
The features that actually matter here.
- Square Invoices — estimates and invoices from a phone, in the field
- Mobile card payments on the spot

What you’d actually carry.
- Per technicianSquare Reader + their phone
- OrSquare Terminal — prints a receipt on site
- Officenothing required — it all runs from the field
No counter, no register, no cash drawer. For most home services the hardware bill is a reader per person — the value is in the software doing the estimating, invoicing, and chasing for you.
Home Services, answered.
Can my techs take payment at the customer’s house?
Yes — a Reader paired to their phone, or a Terminal if you want a printed receipt on the spot. Getting paid before you leave is the whole point.
Do I need a POS counter?
No. This is the one setup where you need no counter at all — which also makes it the cheapest to start.
