Invoices from the estimate, payments from a link

The invoice writes itself. The client pays from a link.

Deposit, progress and final invoices come from the signed estimate. Clients pay by card or bank, receipts go out on their own, late invoices rise to the top, and your books stay in step with QuickBooks.

What changes: the invoice goes out the day the job is done, the client pays from a link instead of mailing a check, and anything late comes to you with the reminder already written.

How it goes

Three steps, no paperwork in between.

  1. 01

    Invoice in a tap

    The final invoice builds itself when the job is marked done. Progress invoices along the way, or an invoice for anyone.

  2. 02

    Client pays from the link

    Branded PDF and a pay page. Card, Apple Pay or bank through Stripe, partial payments allowed, receipt sent on its own.

  3. 03

    Books take care of themselves

    Receipts scanned into the job, money view of what came in and what is owed, invoices and payments copied to QuickBooks.

Invoices

Invoices carry your logo, license and payment instructions. Edit lines, add extras, apply credits, set a note and terms per invoice. Void with a paper trail when needed.

  • Built from the signed estimate
  • Sales tax on materials
  • Void with history
  • Overdue shown automatically

Card and bank payments

Connect your own Stripe account once. Clients pay from the invoice page; partial payments are allowed and the receipt shows what is left. Cash, check and Zelle are recorded by hand with a receipt emailed if you want.

  • Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank
  • Money goes to your Stripe account
  • Automatic receipts
  • Partial payments

Payment reminders

Overdue invoices are sorted by who to call first. MagicBuild drafts the reminder, or sends it for you if you turn on automatic reminders.

  • Drafted for your approval or sent automatically
  • Same for quiet estimates

Receipt scanning

Take a photo of a receipt, supplier invoice or fuel slip. Magic reads the vendor, the total and the items, and guesses the job. Anything it is unsure of waits in Needs a job so nothing gets lost.

  • Items and vendor read from the photo
  • Job guessed, one tap to confirm
  • Materials, dump fees, fuel sorted

Company money

One view of the company's money: paid, outstanding, overdue, expenses by job, and the share of every payment to put aside for taxes.

  • Owed and overdue at a glance
  • Job costs and overhead kept apart
  • Tax set-aside

QuickBooks sync

Connect QuickBooks Online from Settings. Invoices and payments are sent as they happen; nothing to re-type.

  • Automatic per invoice and payment
  • Customers created as needed

Questions

Asked before signing up.

What does it cost to take card payments?
Stripe's processing fees apply, shown when you connect. MagicBuild's subscription is the same either way.
Can clients pay part of an invoice?
Yes. Partial payments are recorded and the receipt shows the remaining balance.
Do I have to use Stripe?
No. Record cash, check or Zelle by hand and MagicBuild still tracks what is paid and what is owed.
