Been using Jobber for invoicing my lawn care and mulch installs for about two years now, but man it's a pain when clients drag their feet on payments for those weekly mow routes. Out here in north Georgia, the humidity makes everything grow like crazy so I'm out there with my Stihl trimmers every damn week, but then the billing lags behind. I tried setting up auto-recurring for the $250 monthly contracts, but half the time the cards decline and I gotta chase them down. Switched to including a late fee after 15 days, which helped a bit, but still feels like I'm doing extra admin work on top of the physical grind. Anyone else dealing with this in their landscaping ops? What's your go-to for smoother invoicing without the BS?

don't ditch the late fees for auto-pay incentives in jobber, i saw a guy lose half his monthly routes to deadbeats who never paid up after he made it too easy.

jobber's a joke for chasing those deadbeat homeowners who think mowin their lawn is charity, had one ghost me for two months on a $300 route til i slapped a lien on the spot. screw the auto-billing crap, time to ditch it for somethin that actually makes em pay up.

chasin payments in jobber feels like herdin cats on caffeine, especially when your own check bounces from all the declined cards 😂

set your jobber notifications to ping you instantly on card declines and require a new payment method entry right in the app, cut my chase-down time by half.

Fuck Jobber, those recurring billing glitches cost me three clients last summer on irrigation jobs alone. Switched to Housecall Pro and never looked back, payments come in 80% faster now.

Housecall Pro is overrated, still charges too much for what it does and their customer service is a joke. Stick with QuickBooks Invoicing if you're solo, it's free and ties right into your bank without all the fancy crap.
