Flux gives moving 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 moving 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 moving companies are not locked into a contract or paying for a slow month.
How moving companies get paid
For moving 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 moving companies
Moving revenue starts weeks before the truck does. A date-hold deposit collected by card at booking is standard, with the balance due at delivery, and most movers take that balance by card on site before the crew unloads the last room. Long-distance jobs run larger and sometimes split into a deposit, a pickup payment, and a delivery balance. Storage-in-transit adds a recurring monthly charge to a stored card until the goods move again.
Summer and month-ends carry the year, and Flux scales up for the surge without contracts or minimums holding you through the slow months. Crews live on tips, and a card payment at delivery with a tip added beats hoping the customer has cash after moving day. Instant payouts through Visa Direct help owners cover fuel and crew pay during heavy weeks when expenses run ahead of settlements. Deposits, balances, and storage charges all sync to QuickBooks.
What moving companies should watch
Damage claims and chargebacks travel together. A customer with a cracked dresser may skip the claims process and dispute the whole card payment, so document condition at load and unload and get the inventory sheet signed at both ends, because that paperwork is the dispute defense. On interstate moves, federal rules constrain what you can demand at delivery under a non-binding estimate, so the payment collected on site has to match the paperwork, not the driver's math.
Deposit refunds need dates attached. A move canceled a month out and a move canceled the night before are different events, and a tiered refund schedule in the booking confirmation is what keeps the difference from becoming a chargeback. Watch card-not-present exposure on bookings too: the deposit is taken remotely by definition, so collect it through the hosted checkout with billing details matching the customer, and treat a mismatched card on a large long-distance booking as a fraud flag.
Simple, transparent pricing
Flux charges a flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume moving 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.

What does Flux charge moving companies?

How fast do moving companies get their money?

Can a moving company charge a deposit to hold a date?
Yes, collected by card at booking through the hosted checkout. Publish a tiered refund schedule tied to how far out the cancellation lands, in the booking confirmation, so peak-season date holds do not turn into disputed charges.
How is the balance collected on delivery day?
By card on site before the unload finishes, or by ACH arranged in advance for larger corporate moves. On interstate jobs, federal rules limit what can be demanded at delivery under a non-binding estimate, so the collected amount must match the estimate paperwork.
What if a customer disputes the whole charge over damaged items?
The signed inventory sheets from load and unload, condition photos, and your valuation coverage paperwork are the defense. Steer damage complaints into the claims process quickly, because a customer who feels the claim is being handled files a claim, not a chargeback.
