Stripe + SalesButler
The gap between finishing a job and getting paid is where contractor cash flow goes to die. The SalesButler Stripe integration closes it: every invoice ships with a secure pay-by-text link, so the customer can settle by card or ACH before your truck reaches the next stop.
- A landscaping crew finishes a spring cleanup and texts the invoice — the homeowner pays the $640 by Apple Pay from the curb.
- An electrician stops driving to the bank with a stack of checks because 80% of invoices now settle by card the same day.

What the Stripe Integration Fixes
| The problem | With SalesButler + Stripe |
|---|---|
| Chasing checks and waiting 30 days to get paid | Pay-by-text Stripe links get most invoices paid the same day the work is finished. |
| No clean record of which payout covered which job | Stripe payouts reconcile against the originating job so revenue attribution stays accurate. |
