Small Team plan
One company invoice. The right names on it.
For crews of up to five, the Small Team plan keeps one invoice record and one connected Stripe account for the company, even when a coworker collects the payment, and lets the owner book jobs and see who is nearest.
Owners decide who can cover payments.
Each plumber sees their own or assigned invoices. In Settings, under Who can collect payments, only a company owner can let a named coworker collect payments on the unpaid invoices of one specific plumber.

Jobs and route tracking. The owner books a job for a customer and gives it to a plumber, who taps On my way - PlumbPaid works out an arrival time and offers a ready-written text to the customer - then Arrived and Finished. When the work is done, Create invoice starts from the job’s address and notes, and the owner sees any finished job not yet invoiced. If the owner turns on route tracking, each plumber can choose to share their location during a shift, so the owner sees their truck, their drive and a live arrival time. Sharing is always the plumber’s own choice, and drive trails are deleted when the shift ends.

PlumbPaid helps sole plumbers and small plumbing firms invoice completed work and collect payment on the job. On the Small Team plan the owner can also book jobs and give them to a plumber. It is not an estimating app and should not be used to create estimates, quotes, or bids.
What can I include on an invoice?
Add line items with labor and parts, the job address, notes, before-and-after photographs, and a discount the owner has set up, such as a senior discount. Sales tax for the job’s state is added for you, and the PDF invoice includes your plumbing business letterhead.
Can I try PlumbPaid before subscribing?
Yes. Every new business gets 7 days free when it chooses Solo Plumber or Small Team. Google Play or the App Store runs the free trial, once per account, and you are not charged if you cancel before it ends.

How can my customer pay?
The customer can physically tap a contactless card, phone, or compatible watch against your supported phone; you can enter card details on Stripe’s secure page; you can send a Pay Invoice link; or you can record cash or check.
Can another plumber collect payment on my invoice?
On the Small Team plan, yes. Only the company owner can, in Settings under Who can collect payments, let a named coworker collect on the unpaid invoices of a specific plumber. Both names appear on the invoice when that coworker collects payment: “Work by” and “Payment Collected by.” The invoice number stays the same, and the money goes to the company’s one connected Stripe account.
Can plumbers see every invoice at their company?
No. Plumbers see their own invoices, plus those of anyone the owner has let them collect for. The company owner sees every invoice.
What fees does Stripe charge?
For U.S. Stripe accounts on standard pricing, Stripe’s fee depends on whether the customer taps your phone or pays through a link. The PlumbPaid platform fee is 0.5% of each card payment on top - $1.50 on a $300 job. It covers taking card payments through PlumbPaid: Tap to Pay on your phone, payment links, invoices marked paid automatically, double-charge protection, receipts and refund tracking. Cash and check carry no fee, and a refund returns it. See the rates and examples.
Do I need a separate card reader for Tap to Pay?
No separate reader is needed on a supported iPhone or Android phone. Tap to Pay availability depends on your device and Stripe requirements.
What happens if I lose the signal on a job?
Keep entering applicable work while offline in a basement, attic, or underground space. PlumbPaid synchronizes that work when your connection returns. Electronic payments through Stripe are completed when connectivity is available.
Will PlumbPaid send a receipt automatically?
Yes. Once the payment is settled, PlumbPaid automatically sends the customer a receipt, whether they paid electronically, by cash, or by check.
Where does the customer’s card payment go?
Card payments are processed by Stripe and settle into the plumbing business’s connected Stripe account. PlumbPaid does not hold customer funds or store full card details.
Does PlumbPaid handle taxes for me?
PlumbPaid adds sales tax to each invoice for the state where the job is, using the labor and parts rates the owner enters in Settings. The business remains responsible for using the right rates, and for reporting and paying the tax it collects to the state. PlumbPaid does not file or pay taxes for you.
Can I export my invoices?
Yes. The owner can export every invoice to a CSV spreadsheet and print a summary of all invoices from Settings.
Who can delete a company account?
Only the company owner can delete it, in Settings with Delete my account. The owner chooses whether to delete only their own invoices or all of the company’s, then confirms with their password. Plumbers cannot delete the company account; a plumber who leaves is removed by the owner, and PlumbPaid erases the company’s data from their phone.
