Payment Processing

Getting paid should be the easiest part of running your lawn care business, not the most frustrating. With LocalLandscape payment processing, you can accept payments online through PayPal for web transactions and Stripe for mobile app payments. Customers pay you directly, and the money goes straight to your account. LocalLandscape never handles or holds your funds.

Setting up payments is simple. In your provider settings, you enter your own PayPal and Stripe API credentials, which are stored securely with encryption. This means you maintain full control of your payment accounts. There are no middlemen, no platform fees on payments, and no waiting for payouts. When a customer pays, the transaction goes directly through your merchant account.

The system supports flexible payment options to match how lawn care businesses actually operate. Customers can pay the full amount upfront, or you can accept a 25% retainer deposit with the balance due upon completion. This flexibility helps you secure commitment from customers while accommodating those who prefer to pay upon delivery. Payment history and receipts are tracked automatically for both you and your customers.

Payments integrate seamlessly with the quoting and appointment scheduling systems. When a customer accepts a quote, they can pay immediately. When they book an appointment, they can include a deposit. This connected experience reduces the time between agreeing on a price and receiving payment, which directly improves your cash flow and reduces the time you spend chasing invoices.
