ROI Impact
To automatically send payment links after locksmith services, connect your job management system to a payment processor. When you mark a job complete, the system instantly sends an SMS or email with a secure payment link containing the service details and amount due. Customers pay directly from their phone, and payment confirmations sync back to your records automatically.
How This Automation Works
Service Job Marked Complete → Customer Receives Payment Link
Complete Service Job
Finish the locksmith service call and mark the job as complete in your job management system, mobile app, or scheduling tool. The system automatically captures all job details including customer contact information, services performed, and total amount due.
Generate Payment Link
The automation instantly creates a unique, secure payment link tied to this specific job. The link includes the customer name, service description, itemized charges, total amount, and your business details, all formatted professionally.
Send to Customer
A personalized message containing the payment link is automatically sent to the customer via their preferred contact method (SMS, email, or both). The message includes a friendly payment request with service summary and your business branding.
Customer Makes Payment
The customer clicks the link and is directed to a secure payment page where they can pay using credit card, debit card, or digital wallet. The mobile-optimized page works on any device and completes transactions in seconds.
Confirm and Record
When payment is completed, both you and the customer receive instant confirmation with digital receipts. The payment status automatically updates in your system, the invoice is marked paid, and the transaction details are recorded for accounting purposes.
Handle Unpaid Invoices
If payment isn't received within your specified timeframe, the system automatically sends polite reminder messages at scheduled intervals. You can customize reminder frequency and messaging to align with your collection policies.
How It Works
Transform your locksmith business payment collection with automated mobile payment links that are sent the moment a service call is completed. This system eliminates the awkward payment conversation, reduces outstanding invoices, and ensures you get paid faster. When you mark a job as complete in your system, customers instantly receive a professional payment link they can use on any device. Perfect for emergency lockouts, key duplication, and security installations where immediate payment is expected but cards aren't always on hand. The automation tracks payment status, sends gentle reminders for unpaid invoices, and syncs payment confirmations back to your records—all without manual intervention.
The Trigger
When a locksmith job is marked as complete in your job management system, scheduling app, or CRM, the automation immediately initiates. This can happen when you update the job status from 'In Progress' to 'Complete', when you close out a work order, or when service notes are finalized. The trigger captures essential job details including customer contact information, service type, total amount due, and job reference number.
The Action
A personalized SMS or email is instantly sent to the customer containing a secure payment link with the exact amount due, job description, and your business details. The message is professionally formatted with your branding and includes the service summary. Customers can click the link to pay via credit card, debit card, or digital wallet from any mobile device. Payment confirmations are automatically recorded in your system, and receipts are sent to both you and the customer.
