For most service companies, getting paid is a second job. Invoices go out as PDFs, land in an accounts payable inbox and wait. Someone calls to check. Someone else asks for your W-9 again. The check arrives forty-five days later, or doesn’t, and you’ve already paid your crew for that work three times over.

Invoices get held up because they’re disconnected from the work. The customer can’t match your PDF to a job they remember approving, so it goes back for clarification. Every week that takes is a week your cash sits in someone else’s account.

ClearFM builds the invoice from the completed work, sends it to the customer, and pays you through Stripe, with a flat 3% fee that's credited toward your licensing costs.

Invoices customers recognize, payouts without collections calls, and cash flow you can plan payroll around.

What you get

Invoices from the job

Invoice from the completed work, with the scope, the dates and the details already on it. The customer sees what they’re paying for and who did it.

Paid through Stripe

Payments run through Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified processor. Funds are held until services are completed, which gives both sides confidence, and nobody mails a check.

Flat 3%, credited back

A flat 3% on payments processed, the same on every plan. What you process is credited toward your licensing costs, so the platform pays for more of itself as more work runs through it.

How it works

Finish the work

The job is completed and closed out on its work order, with the scope, the materials and the sign-off on record.

Send the invoice

Create the invoice from the job and send it to the customer. Starter and above send branded invoices with your company’s details.

The customer pays

The customer checks the invoice against work they recognize and pays through ClearFM.

The payout arrives

Payment processes through Stripe and the payout reaches your account. No check, no deposit run, no call to accounts payable.

Why teams run this on ClearFM

Stop chasing payments

When the customer pays through the platform, the collections calls mostly stop. Your office manager gets back the hours spent asking accounts payable where the check is.

Invoices that don't bounce back

An invoice built from the job carries the scope and the dates the customer already knows about. It gets approved instead of returned with questions.

Cash flow you can plan around

Predictable payment means you can plan payroll and supply orders against money that’s actually coming, not money you hope arrives this month.

The platform pays for itself

Payments processed through ClearFM are credited toward your licensing costs. Run enough work through it and the subscription is mostly covered by work you were going to invoice anyway.

Invoices that look the part

Starter and above send branded quotes and invoices with your company’s details. The customer gets a document that looks like it came from a company they want to keep using.

Payment history on every account

Every invoice and payment stays on the customer’s account. When you’re pricing a renewal, you can see how a customer pays as well as what they’ve paid.

Questions people ask

How much does payment processing cost?

A flat 3% on payments processed through ClearFM, on every plan. Payments processed are credited toward your licensing costs, so the processing fee and the subscription aren’t fully additive.

How do payouts work?

Payments are processed by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified. Funds are held until services are completed and then paid out to your account. ClearFM never has access to full card details.

Can I invoice on the Free plan?

Yes. Free includes basic invoices and receipts along with payment processing. Starter adds branded quotes and invoices with your company’s details.

What if a customer disputes an invoice?

Because the invoice is built from the job, the scope, the dates and the sign-off are attached to it. Both sides start from the same record, which makes the conversation shorter.
