Add lines or a discount if you need to. 2. **Send it by text**: The customer gets a text with the invoice number, the amount and a link to view and pay. 3. **They pay your account**: Card payments go straight to your Stripe, Square or PayPal account. Pay links open PayPal.me, Venmo or Cash App with the amount filled in, or show your Zelle details. 4. **It's marked paid**: Stripe, Square and PayPal tell LockCommand when a payment lands, and the invoice is marked paid. Cash, check and app payments are marked paid by the tech. 5. **Receipt and review**: The receipt goes out by text, and a review request follows two hours later if you've added a review link. ## What you control All of it is set in the app, most of it by the shop owner or an admin. - Card payments: Set up Stripe from the app (an account in your shop's name, with its own Stripe dashboard), connect your Square account, or use PayPal checkout. - Pay links: Your PayPal.me, Venmo and Cash App handles, your Zelle email or phone, a Stripe payment link, or one custom link of your own. - Tax rate: One shop tax rate, applied to every invoice. - Tips: Quick 10, 15 or 20 percent tip buttons when you record a payment. - Who collects: Techs take payment on their own jobs. Owners, admins and accountants manage invoices. ## Honest limits Worth knowing before you set it up, so nothing surprises you on a job. Setting up invoicing for the first time? The guide covers invoicing on site, step by step. [Locksmith invoicing guide](https://lockcommand.com//locksmith-invoicing) - Your payment provider's own fees still apply. We add nothing on top. - Refunds happen in your Stripe, Square or PayPal dashboard, not in LockCommand. - No deposits yet. Partial payments are tracked and the balance stays on the invoice. - Venmo, Cash App, Zelle and PayPal.me payments are marked paid by hand, because those apps don't report back to us. - PayPal checkout depends on our PayPal partner setup. Until it's live for your shop, use a PayPal.me link. ## Payments questions ### Does LockCommand take a percentage of my payments? No. There's no LockCommand fee on any payment, and the money goes from your customer to your own account. Your payment provider's normal fees still apply. ### Can I use my existing Square account? Yes. Connect it from Payments and accounting in the app. For Stripe, LockCommand sets up a Stripe account in your shop's name that you manage in your own Stripe dashboard. ### Can customers pay with Venmo, Cash App or Zelle? Yes. Add your handles once. The invoice link opens Venmo or Cash App with the amount filled in, or shows your Zelle email or phone. The tech marks it paid when the money arrives. ### How do I refund a customer? In your Stripe, Square or PayPal dashboard. If a payment was recorded in LockCommand by mistake, an owner, admin or accountant can delete it. ### Do payments go to QuickBooks? If you connect QuickBooks Online, invoices and payments copy across on their own a few seconds after they're saved. ## Keep reading - [Locksmith invoicing How to invoice on site, take payment before you leave the curb, and keep every job's paperwork together.](https://lockcommand.com//locksmith-invoicing) - [Reports & QuickBooks Roles for your team, revenue and call reports, CSV exports and QuickBooks Online sync.](https://lockcommand.com//features/reports-and-quickbooks) - [Customer texts Booking confirmations, ETA texts, receipts, review requests, missed-call text-back and AI reply drafts.](https://lockcommand.com//features/customer-texts) - [Pricing Monthly plans by team size, included AI minutes, per-minute prices, boosters and top-ups.](https://lockcommand.com//pricing) - [Solo locksmiths How a one-person mobile locksmith stops losing calls while on a job or driving.](https://lockcommand.com//for/solo-locksmiths) ## Let the AI pick up.
