Flux gives flooring 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.
Why flooring contractors choose Flux
Collect on site

How flooring contractors get paid
For flooring 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 flooring contractors
Flooring billing pivots on the material order. Product is selected, then a deposit covering materials is collected by card or ACH before anything is ordered, because special-order hardwood, tile, and carpet cannot be returned like shelf goods. The labor balance is invoiced when the install wraps. Shops with a showroom also take straightforward card payments at the counter for cash-and-carry product. Builder and property-management work invoices on terms and pays by ACH in one to three business days.
The measure-to-install gap can run weeks while product ships and acclimates, so the deposit both funds the buy and anchors the customer through the wait. Repeat flippers and landlords doing unit turns keep payment details on file, since they buy the same product order after order and want billing to be an afterthought. Deposits, showroom sales, and builder invoices each behave differently in the books, and QuickBooks sync keeps the three streams sorted by customer and job.
What flooring contractors should watch
Flooring disputes are appearance disputes. Dye lot variation, plank pattern repetition, and how a floor reads in the homeowner's light versus the showroom's generate balance holds after otherwise clean installs, so have customers approve product on delivery, before installation, and note that approval in the file. Moisture testing has its own friction: a delayed install over a wet slab protects the floor and the warranty, but the customer sees a stalled job, so bill and communicate the delay honestly.
Refund terms on special-order product should be written where the customer signs, not discovered when they cancel: once material is cut or shipped, the recoverable value drops fast, and the contract needs to say who absorbs that. Collect the balance at the final walkthrough while the crew is still there to fix a transition strip or a squeak on the spot. A balance invoiced days later, after the furniture is back, competes with every small imperfection the customer has since found.

What does Flux charge flooring contractors?
A flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume merchants and no setup fees or contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee. You can also pass the processing fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow.

When should the material deposit be collected on a flooring job?
At product selection, before anything is ordered, by card or ACH. Special-order hardwood, tile, and carpet are committed the moment the order is placed, so the deposit should cover materials and the refund terms should be signed at the same time.
What if the customer cancels after materials are ordered?
The signed refund terms decide it: once product is cut or shipped, its recoverable value drops, and the contract should say who eats that. Stated up front, a cancellation becomes a calculation instead of a chargeback.
How do flooring contractors bill landlords doing multiple unit turns?
On terms, with payment details on file, since turn work repeats and the product is often the same order after order. Invoices bundle per unit, pay by ACH in one to three business days, and sync to QuickBooks under the management account.
