Bill recurring pool service customers and get paid automatically

Put your weekly pool routes on autopilot: customers book a recurring service once from your link, their card is charged weekly, monthly, or yearly until you or they cancel, and payouts reach your bank automatically. One-off openings, closings, and repairs get an invoice customers pay by card from the email. Nothing new to chase.

Redbud Way isn't route or scheduling software. It's the billing layer that gets you paid. Keep running your pool route however you like; we just handle recurring card payments, invoices, and payouts. It's free, with no monthly fee and no cut of your jobs; Stripe's standard fees apply to payments.

Recurring billing built for pool routes

Most of a pool business is the same customers, every week. List a recurring service at a fixed weekly, monthly, or yearly price, like weekly cleanings, monthly chemical service, or a yearly contract. Customers book it once from your link, and their card is charged on that schedule until you or they cancel. Redbud Way adds nothing; Stripe charges its standard card fee plus 0.7% Stripe Billing on each recurring charge. For seasonal pools, cancel at closing and have the customer rebook at opening.

Redbud Way charges 0% and takes no cut of your jobs. Stripe bills you directly for its standard card processing, invoicing, and recurring billing fees on what you collect. See every fee.

Built around how pool service works

A route of recurring stops, plus the occasional opening, repair, or resurfacing. Redbud Way bills the recurring work automatically and lets you send a one-off card-payment link for everything else.

  • Shareable service links. Share a link for each service. Customers book a fixed-price or recurring service, or request a quote.
  • Deposit + balance splits. Collect a deposit on openings, repairs, or resurfacing and the balance when it's done. Some states cap deposits, so check yours with the deposit calculator.

Common questions

Can I send an invoice for a pool repair or opening?
Yes. Add the customer’s email and the line items and send. They get an email with a Pay button that opens the invoice, and they pay in full by card or bank transfer with no account. You get an email when it’s paid.
Can I auto-bill my recurring pool service customers?
Yes. List a recurring service at a fixed weekly, monthly, or yearly price. Customers book it once from your link, and their card is charged on that schedule until you or they cancel, so you stop chasing payments between visits. Recurring billing is included free: Stripe charges its standard card fee plus 0.7% Stripe Billing on each recurring charge, and Redbud Way adds nothing.
How much does Redbud Way cost for a pool service business?
Redbud Way is free and charges 0%, so it never takes a cut of your pool service jobs. Stripe bills you directly for its standard fees on what you collect: 2.9% + 30¢ per card payment, plus 0.4% Stripe Invoicing on invoices and quotes, and 0.7% Stripe Billing on recurring charges. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Can I collect a deposit on a pool opening, closing, or repair?
Yes. Take a deposit up front on seasonal openings and closings, equipment repairs, or resurfacing, and collect the balance when the work is done: your customer pays the rest by card or bank transfer from the same link. Some states cap deposits (California: 10% or $1,000, whichever is less), so check yours with the deposit calculator.
How fast do I get paid?
Stripe pays card payments out to your linked bank automatically, about two business days after each payment, and standard payouts are free. Your first payout can take a week or two while Stripe verifies your account. No waiting on checks between service stops.
Do my customers need an account to pay?
No. Customers pay by card or bank transfer as a guest from any phone or browser, and recurring customers are charged automatically once their card is on file.
