- No contracts
- Built only for plumbers
The fastest way to get paid is to make paying effortless
Every plumber has a stack of unpaid invoices in a glove box, a desk drawer, or a spreadsheet column marked "follow up." The truth is simple: customers don't avoid paying because they're dishonest — they avoid paying because it's a hassle. Finding the checkbook, buying stamps, remembering to mail it.
Friction kills cash flow.
Plumb Ace removes every bit of that friction. Every invoice you send arrives with a pay button built in.
The customer taps, enters their card or bank info, and the money moves. No apps to download, no accounts to create, no "I'll mail it next week." Just paid.
Three ways customers pay — all built into the invoice
Whether the customer wants to pay by phone, online, or in person, Plumb Ace handles it without a separate terminal or app.
Card payments
Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover accepted from any invoice link. Customers enter their card details in a secure, branded checkout page and payment is confirmed in seconds.
ACH bank transfer
Perfect for big jobs and commercial accounts. Lower fees than cards, direct from their checking account. Great for $2,000+ water heater replacements and commercial repipes.
Tap to pay
Run a card in person right from your phone. No extra hardware. Just tap the customer's card or phone on your device and the payment is done — ideal for truck-based collections.
How plumber payments work in Plumb Ace
From finished job to money in the bank — no extra apps, no manual reconciliation.

Money lands next business day
Funds deposit directly to your connected bank account. Every payment is auto-matched to its invoice — no spreadsheet reconciliation at month end.
Collect payment before you leave the driveway
The best time to get paid is when the customer is happiest — right after you fixed their leak, installed their water heater, or cleared their drain. Plumb Ace lets you invoice and collect on the spot.
Stand in the kitchen, send the invoice by text, and watch the notification roll in before you reach the truck. No "I'll mail you a check." No "Can I pay you next week?" Just a quick tap, a thank you, and a paid invoice.

PCI compliant
We never store raw card numbers on your device or servers. All payment data is tokenized and handled by certified processors.
Fraud protection
Built-in risk monitoring flags suspicious transactions automatically. You sleep better knowing the system is watching.
Works offline
No cell signal at the job site? No problem. Queue the payment and it processes automatically when you're back in range.
Cash flow is king — especially for small plumbing shops
A $3,000 job sitting unpaid for 45 days isn't just annoying — it's rent, payroll, and supplies you can't buy. Plumb Ace tightens your cash cycle by making payment the easiest part of the job.
Customers who pay by card or ACH settle in hours, not weeks. The average Plumb Ace user gets paid 4x faster than shops still waiting on checks.
That means less time being a bill collector and more time doing the work that pays.

Built only for plumbers — not generic payment processors
Square and Stripe are powerful, but they don't know a water heater from a washing machine. Plumb Ace understands plumbing invoices: deposits, progress payments, final balances, and warranty callbacks that don't get charged.
Every payment is automatically linked to the right customer, job, and invoice. Your books stay clean without you lifting a finger.
And when tax season comes, every transaction is already categorized and ready for your accountant.
