Payment Hub for Field Services: Faster Payment After Every Service Call
A self-service payment portal for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest control, and landscaping companies — integrated with QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage 100, Acumatica, or NetSuite.
Payment Hub for Field Services: Overview
Clarity Payment Hub is a self-service customer payment portal built for field service companies. It lets residential and commercial customers pay for completed work online — with every payment posting back automatically to your accounting system through Clarity Connect.
Field services live in a world of same-day or same-week service, where the fastest-paid companies are the most profitable. Payment Hub tightens the loop from job completion to payment collection by giving customers a branded online payment experience, handling recurring service contracts, and automating cash application back to QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage 100, Acumatica, or NetSuite.
Owners, office managers, dispatchers, and AR coordinators use Payment Hub. Customers — homeowners and commercial property contacts — pay through the portal because it's easier than writing a check after the tech leaves.
The AR Problem in Field Services
In field services, cash flow is everything. Every truck, tech, and route is expensive; fast payment is how you keep the lights on. Yet many field service companies still bill by paper invoice, take cards by phone, and chase collections by text message. The average field service DSO sits meaningfully higher than it should because the payment process lags the service process by a week or more.
The opportunity is clear: customers expect to pay for a plumber or pest control visit the same way they pay for everything else — online, on a phone, with a saved card. Field service companies that modernize the payment moment consistently collect faster, retain more contracts, and spend less time on collections.
Techs finish the job; invoices get generated later, emailed or mailed; customers eventually pay. The gap is days or weeks of unnecessary DSO.
Office staff taking card numbers over the phone is slow, error-prone, and a PCI risk.
Every payment has to be keyed into QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage 100, Acumatica, or NetSuite by hand.
Maintenance agreements and recurring pest/lawn contracts are often managed on spreadsheets with manual charges.
Residential card payments at the wrong gateway quietly cost more than they should.
How Clarity Payment Hub Solves It
Payment Hub gives your customers a branded self-service portal where they can pay invoices, set up saved payment methods, and manage recurring service contracts. Every payment posts automatically back to QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage 100, Acumatica, or NetSuite through Clarity Connect.
The portal supports one-off service payments, recurring maintenance billing, and prepay/on-account balances — so your dispatch, ops, and office team can stop being payment processors and get back to running the business.
Customers get an email or text with a pay link after the job; they pay in two clicks, no phone call required.
Maintenance agreements, pest routes, and lawn contracts can be billed automatically against a tokenized payment method.
Commercial customers can maintain a running balance, pay down by any amount, and see their statement live.
Every payment posts back to your accounting system automatically — no office manager keying payments into QuickBooks.
Saved cards are tokenized and stored at the processor, not on your systems. Eliminates the worst of your PCI exposure.
Gateway- and FSM-agnostic. Payment Hub works alongside your field service management software (ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, etc.) and integrates with QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage 100, Acumatica, or NetSuite as your accounting system of record.

Benefits for Field Services Companies
Customers pay from their phone within hours of service completion instead of weeks.
Maintenance agreements bill themselves; defaults drop; staff time back.
Phone-card intake disappears; tokenization handles everything securely.
No more keying payments into the accounting system by hand.
Residential and commercial customers pay the way they expect — online, mobile, fast.
Level II/III on B2B/commercial volume, optimized routing on residential card.
Owners and GMs see AR improvement flow directly to cash flow and predictability. Office managers stop taking card numbers over the phone. Dispatchers stop doubling as collections agents. And customers — whether homeowners or commercial accounts — get the digital payment experience they already use with every other service vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Payment Hub work with our FSM software?
Payment Hub integrates with your accounting ERP (QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage 100, Acumatica, or NetSuite). FSM tools like ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and FieldEdge typically push invoices into the ERP; Payment Hub handles everything from there.
Can we bill recurring service contracts automatically?
Yes. Maintenance agreements, pest routes, and lawn contracts can be billed automatically against a tokenized payment method, with each run posting back to your accounting system.
Can customers pay against an on-account balance?
Yes. Commercial customers in particular can maintain a running balance, pay any amount, and see their statement in the portal.
Will this replace our dispatch or job-costing system?
No. Payment Hub is the payment portal and integration layer — not an FSM replacement. Your existing FSM tool stays.
How fast can we deploy?
Most field service deployments go live within 48 hours of Clarity receiving ERP sandbox credentials.
Does the portal support text-message pay links?
Yes, in common configurations. Customers receive an SMS after job completion with a secure pay link.
