Flux gives window cleaners 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 window cleaners 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 window cleaners are not locked into a contract or paying for a slow month.
How window cleaners get paid
For window cleaners, 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 window cleaners
Window cleaning splits between storefront routes and residential jobs, and each pays differently. Storefront route customers, the barber shop cleaned every other week, work best on a monthly recurring charge to a stored card, so the route runs without a payment stop at every door. Residential work is seasonal and appointment-based: spring and fall cleans invoiced on completion or paid by card at the door, with many cleaners collecting through a hosted invoice texted from the driveway.
Most window cleaners bundle adjacent services, gutter clearing, screen cleaning, pressure washing, onto the same visit and the same invoice, which lifts the average ticket without another truck roll. Larger commercial accounts, mid-rise buildings and restaurant groups, invoice monthly on terms and pay by ACH in one to three business days. With no monthly fees on qualifying card volume or minimums, slow winter months in northern markets cost nothing, and QuickBooks sync keeps route, residential, and commercial revenue separated.
What window cleaners should watch
Route billing drifts if nobody audits it. A storefront that dropped from weekly to monthly service but stayed on the weekly charge is a dispute in the making, and a shop that quietly closed keeps triggering autopay until someone notices. Reconcile the route list against the billing list monthly. Rain reschedules cause the residential version of this: a visit pushed a week should push the charge with it, because a charge with no visit behind it loses every dispute.
Some cleaners sell prepaid seasonal packages, several cleans purchased up front, and those need bookkeeping care: prepaid money is a liability until the work happens, and refunding the unused remainder promptly on cancellation is cheaper than a dispute over the whole package. Since tickets are small, collect at or near the visit rather than letting invoices pile up: a stack of aging small invoices is expensive to chase and easy to prevent with a card at the door or autopay on the route.

Can storefront window cleaning routes bill automatically?
Yes. Each storefront keeps a card in secure hosted fields and is charged monthly for its service frequency, so the route runs without payment stops. Reconcile the billing list against the route list monthly to catch closures and frequency changes.
How should prepaid seasonal packages be handled?
Collect the package by card up front, track redeemed visits, and refund the unused remainder promptly if the customer cancels. Prepaid money is a liability until the work happens, and a fast partial refund is cheaper than a dispute over the whole package.
What about rain delays and rescheduled visits?
Push the charge with the visit: a billing date tied to service actually performed is what keeps route autopay defensible. A charge with no visit behind it loses any dispute, so the reschedule policy should be written into the service agreement.
