Flux gives fencing contractors tap-friendly card payments, ACH for larger jobs and deposits, and hosted fields that work from a phone, so you can collect before you leave the site.

How fencing contractors get paid
For fencing contractors, cards handle on-the-spot and deposit payments, ACH suits larger project invoices, and Flux runs both from one integration you can use on a phone in the field.
A typical Flux setup for fencing contractors
Fence money follows the material order. The standard flow is a deposit by card or ACH when the contract is signed, sized to cover posts, panels, and concrete, then the balance invoiced at completion, with ACH preferred on larger runs. Small repair jobs, a leaning post or a storm-damaged section, close by card on site. Builders and property managers doing perimeter work across multiple lots invoice on terms and pay by ACH in one to three business days.
Fencing books heavily in spring, and the gap between a signed contract and a dug posthole can stretch across HOA approvals, utility locates, and weather. That gap is why the deposit matters: it holds the customer through the wait and funds the material buy when the schedule firms up. Since jobs price by the linear foot, invoices should mirror the estimate line by line, and QuickBooks sync keeps quote, invoice, and payment tied to one customer record.
What fencing contractors should watch
Two outside forces can kill a fence job after the deposit: an HOA denial and a property line dispute with a neighbor. Both need answers in the contract before they happen, spelling out what is refundable before materials are ordered and what is not after. A job stopped mid-build over a boundary argument is worse, so invoice completed footage promptly if work pauses, because a half-built fence with nothing collected beyond the deposit is a receivable with an uncertain future.
Material prices move between the estimate and the build, especially on long lead times, so date-limit your quotes and state whether the price locks at signing or at material purchase. At the other end, walk the finished line with the customer before sending the balance invoice: gate swing, latch height, and cleanup are small complaints that become payment holds when discovered after the crew leaves. A signed walkthrough plus photos is also the evidence file if a card-paid balance is ever disputed.

How big should a fencing deposit be and when is it collected?
Collected at contract signing, sized to cover posts, panels, and concrete for the run, by card or ACH. It holds the customer through HOA approvals and utility locates, and it funds the material buy when the schedule firms up.
What happens to the deposit if the HOA rejects the fence?
Whatever the contract says, which is why the refund terms need to distinguish between before and after materials are ordered. Handled in writing up front, an HOA denial is a refund event on agreed terms rather than a chargeback.
Can a builder pay for fencing across multiple lots on one invoice?
Yes. Perimeter work across a development can bill as one itemized invoice on terms, paid by ACH in one to three business days, with per-lot detail preserved through the QuickBooks sync.
