The card is taken on the booking page or by phone before the crew rolls, the payment link reaches the customer by email and text the moment the job is created, reminders chase it daily for 10 days, and repeat customers are charged on the card Stripe already holds. The unpaid pile shrinks because nothing waits for the office to remember. ## How getting paid faster works in Dumpster Controls 1. **Connect Stripe.** Online card payment, payment links and card on file all run through your own Stripe account, connected from Account Center in a few minutes. Payouts go to your bank on Stripe's schedule, visible under Your Money. See [connecting Stripe](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/connect-stripe-to-get-paid-online). 2. **Take the card at booking.** On your booking page the customer sees the full total before paying, and the card is stored for charges that come later. You set who pays the processing fee. See [who pays the processing fee](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/online-booking/choose-who-pays-the-processing-fee). 3. **For phone bookings, charge or link on the spot.** Charge a card by phone while the customer is on the line, or create the job with the Payment Link option and the invoice goes out by email and text with a Pay Now button. See [charging a card by phone](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/charge-a-card-by-phone). 4. **Let the reminders run.** Auto-Reminders sends a daily email and text with increasing urgency for up to 10 days and stops the moment the invoice is paid. See [automatic payment reminders](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/use-automatic-payment-reminders). 5. **Charge the card on file for repeat work and extras.** Once a customer has paid online, an unpaid job shows Charge Card with the last four digits; the extra quarter load found on site is collected the same way. See [charging a card on file](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/charge-a-card-on-file). 6. **Watch the unpaid number.** Finances shows Received, Invoiced and Unpaid with a Collection Tank gauge, and the dashboard lists who still owes. See [tracking unpaid money](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/finances/track-unpaid-invoices-from-the-dashboard). Every step above is documented screen by screen in the manual: [How to send a payment link](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/send-a-payment-link). ![The Dumpster Controls dashboard a junk removal owner opens each morning: weekly revenue, the live map and an alert for overdue invoices](https://dumpstercontrols.io/screens/dashboard.webp) *The morning check: this week's revenue, and the overdue invoices as an alert, on the dashboard.* ## What you need A free account No monthly fee, no per-invoice fee.
