Flux gives garage door companies 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 garage door companies choose Flux
Collect on site
Take a card or send a payment link from the truck the moment the job is done.
ACH for big jobs
Route large project invoices and deposits over ACH to keep the cost down.
No contracts
Seasonal garage door companies are not locked into a contract or paying for a slow month.
How garage door companies get paid
For garage door companies, 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 garage door companies
Garage door work splits into same-day repairs and ordered installs. Spring and opener repairs are classic on-site collections: the tech finishes, the customer pays by card at the door, and funds settle in one to two business days. New door installs run on a deposit at signing, because doors are ordered to size and often to custom color or window layout, with the balance collected at installation. Commercial overhead door accounts invoice on terms, typically by ACH.
Call volume is emergency-driven and steady year-round, with a bump after cold snaps break springs. Phone-booked repairs get quoted a service call rate up front, then priced on the driveway once the tech sees the door, so the invoice should show both numbers plainly. Property managers with portfolios of rental garages keep payment details on file for recurring repair authorizations. All of it, one-time repairs and deposit-and-balance installs, reconciles into QuickBooks without rekeying.
What garage door companies should watch
Repair pricing skepticism runs high in this trade, and a skeptical customer disputes faster. The defense is boring transparency: quote the service call by phone, present the repair price before touching the door, and itemize parts and labor on the invoice. Spring replacements attract the most second-guessing because the part is invisible to the customer once installed, so photos of the failed spring beside the invoice line settle arguments before they become chargebacks.
Custom door deposits need contractual teeth. A door ordered in a nonstandard size or color cannot be resold, so the contract must state what portion of the deposit is committed once the order is placed, and the customer should acknowledge that line specifically. Lead times slip at the manufacturer, not in your shop, but the customer's deposit sits with you, so communicate delays proactively: a customer updated weekly waits, a customer in the dark cancels and disputes.
Simple, transparent pricing
Flux charges a flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume garage door companies and the option to pass the fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow. No setup fees and no contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee.

Should a deposit be taken on a custom door order?
Yes, before the order goes to the manufacturer, because a nonstandard size or color cannot be resold. The contract should state what portion of the deposit is committed once ordered, and the customer should initial that term specifically.
How does a tech collect payment at the end of a repair?
By card on site the moment the door runs, with funds settling in one to two business days. If the payer is a landlord who is not present, a hosted invoice sent from the driveway covers it without reading card numbers over the phone.
What protects the company when a spring replacement is disputed?
Photos of the failed spring next to the invoice line, the phone quote documented, and the on-site price presented before work began. Spring work is invisible once installed, so the evidence has to be captured while the old part is still in hand.
