Take payment where the work happens
Give crews and technicians practical ways to accept chip, tap and mobile-wallet payments at the customer location.
Mobile, Invoice & Recurring Payments
Payments built for businesses that work in the field.
Selective Pay helps field service companies accept payments at the job site, collect invoices remotely, automate recurring customers, accept ACH and connect payments to the software your team already uses.
- Mobile card acceptance for crews and technicians
- ACH, invoices, payment links and recurring billing
- Accounting and field-service software connectivity
Keep remote payments connected
Use invoices, payment links, virtual terminal, ACH and stored credentials when the customer pays after the job or from the office.
Make recurring customers easier to manage
Support authorized card-on-file, recurring billing, ACH and centralized reporting without forcing every customer into the same payment method.
Why Field Service Payments Are Different
The job may happen at the customer location, but the payment can arrive through several different channels.
Field service businesses often collect money at the job site, from an invoice, by phone, through a recurring schedule or from an accounting or service-management system. A strong payment setup keeps those channels coordinated while giving the office visibility and control.
Crews are mobile
Technicians and service teams need payment options that travel with them instead of relying on a fixed countertop POS or waiting for checks.
Customers pay differently
One customer may tap a card on-site while another pays an invoice by ACH and a recurring customer prefers an authorized stored payment method.
Office and field can disconnect
Without the right setup, mobile payments, invoices, recurring charges, deposits and accounting records can live in separate systems and create extra reconciliation work.
Build the Right Payment Mix
Give customers convenient ways to pay without forcing every transaction through the same channel.
Selective Pay reviews how your team works in the field and in the office, then recommends the combination of mobile acceptance, card-on-file, ACH, invoices, recurring billing and integrations that fits the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from field service businesses.
Can our technicians or crews accept cards at the customer location?
Yes. Selective Pay offers mobile payment configurations for businesses that collect away from a traditional checkout counter. The exact device and platform depend on your processing environment, connectivity and workflow requirements.
Can we keep a customer's card on file for future service?
Supported solutions can tokenize authorized customer payment credentials for repeat and recurring transactions. We review customer authorization, user access and the selected platform before implementation.
Can customers pay an invoice by ACH as well as card?
Yes, when the selected platform supports the required ACH workflow. We review authorization, account validation, returns, settlement timing and reconciliation before implementation.
Do we need a traditional POS system?
Not necessarily. Many field service businesses need mobile acceptance, invoices, recurring billing, card-on-file and ACH more than they need a full retail POS. We recommend equipment after reviewing how your teams actually collect payments.
Can the payment system work with QuickBooks or field-service software?
Often, yes, depending on the software and selected payment platform. We confirm the available gateway, API, connector or workflow before recommending a change.
Can we support multiple crews, technicians or locations?
Yes. We can design a payment environment for multiple users, crews, devices and locations while maintaining centralized visibility, reporting and administrative control.
What should we provide for the initial review?
Start with recent processing statements if you already accept cards, your monthly sales and expected card volume, average ticket, number of field crews, accounting or field-service software and a description of how customers pay today.
