Get paid without the runaround

Here's how it works

Why contractors use online payments
Send it and forget it
Invoices are updated automatically when paid. No tracking, no chasing.
Get paid faster
Credit cards get you paid on the spot. Bank transfers (ACH/EFT) take 3-5 business days but cost way less. Either way, your client can pay in 30 seconds instead of mailing a check.
1% bank transfers for big jobs
$10k invoice? Pay $100 using bank transfers instead of $320 for cards. That's $220 saved.
Your money, not ours
Funds go straight to your bank. We don't hold your cash.

Use it when you want, skip it when you don't
Online payments are optional. For each invoice, you decide whether to include the payment button or not. Some jobs you might want cash. Some clients prefer checks. Some you'll want paid online. Your call.
When online payments are off, you can add your own payment instructions — like "Make checks payable to..." or "Venmo @yourhandle" — whatever works for you.
Powered by Stripe
Dave partners with Stripe to handle all payment processing. Why does that matter to you?
Dave never sees sensitive payment data. Card numbers, bank accounts — none of that touches our servers. Your customers enter payment info directly into Stripe's secure form.
Stripe is battle-tested. They process payments for Amazon, Shopify, and millions of businesses. They've been doing this since 2010.
Your Stripe account is yours. With Stripe Express, you get your own connected account. If you ever stopped using Dave, your payment history and setup stays with Stripe.
Common questions
Do I have to use online payments?
No. Online payments are completely optional. Turn them on or off per invoice. Prefer cash or checks? Add your own payment instructions.
How long until I get my money?
Card payments typically arrive in 2 business days. ACH/EFT bank transfers take 3-5 business days to clear, then another 2 days to reach your account. Once Stripe releases the funds, we send them straight to you — no holding period from our side.
Is this secure? Who has my customers' card info?
Stripe handles all payment data, not Dave. We never see or store card numbers, bank accounts, or other sensitive information. They're PCI-compliant and power Amazon, Shopify, and millions of businesses.
What's a Stripe Express account?
It's a payment account that Stripe manages for you. When you enable online payments in Dave, you'll create a Stripe Express account (takes about 5 minutes). Stripe handles all the compliance stuff — you just collect payments.
What if my customer disputes a payment?
Disputes are handled through Stripe. They'll notify you and you can submit evidence (like your signed contract or photos from Dave). This is another reason having good documentation in Dave helps protect your business.
Can my customers pay partial amounts?
If you set up your invoice with multiple line items or progress payments, customers can pay what's due. For full invoice payments, they pay the total shown. Structure your invoices how you want to be paid.
I'm old school. Why should I bother with this?
Look, if checks and cash work for you, keep doing that. But if you've ever had a client "forget" to pay, or spent time driving to pick up a check, or waited weeks for a payment to clear — online payments solve those problems. Your clients can pay from their phone in 30 seconds. And you don't have to track anything manually.
Ready to get paid without the hassle?
Online payments are just one part of Dave. You also get estimates, invoices, project organization, and review collection — in one place.
"My clients have even commented on how professional and convenient it is. Highly recommend it to any contractor looking to simplify their workflow."
