Frequently Asked Questions
How do tree service crews invoice at the job site?
When the work is complete, the crew lead opens the Business Genie app and pulls up the job. The invoice is pre-populated from the estimate (or can be created fresh for simpler jobs). They can adjust for any scope changes, attach completion photos, and present to the customer. The customer can pay immediately by card, tap-to-pay, or receive a text/email link. Payment processes and the invoice is complete before the crew leaves.
Should tree service companies collect deposits before large jobs?
Yes, especially for large removals. A deposit (typically 25-50%) protects you if a customer cancels after you've turned down other work. It also confirms customer commitment. Business Genie makes deposit collection simple: when an estimate is approved, you invoice the deposit amount. The customer pays by card or ACH. The remaining balance invoices at job completion.
How do tree service customers typically pay?
It varies, but card payments are increasingly common. Business Genie supports credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH bank transfers. For larger tree jobs, ACH has lower fees (1% capped at $10 vs. 2.9% + 30¢ for cards). Many customers prefer to pay immediately on-site by card—it's convenient and they know the work is complete. Offering multiple options increases your collection rate.
Why include before/after photos on tree service invoices?
Before/after photos serve multiple purposes: they document the work for warranty reference, they provide proof if there's ever a dispute, and they make great marketing material (with customer permission). Customers also appreciate seeing the transformation documented professionally. It reinforces the value of your work and justifies the price they paid.
