How are payment processors getting away with this??

Inspired by owner discussion on Reddit.

How are payment processors getting away with this??. Just ran the numbers on what payment processing fees actually cost us last year now that my accountant brought me a new one and I'm genuinely angry at myself for not doing this sooner.

Get paid before the truck rolls

Deposits and card-on-file reduce no-shows. GC/remodel owners on Reddit cite deposit links in the quote text as the single highest no-show fix.

Invoice the day you close

Same-day invoices get paid same-week. Letting billing wait until Friday batch is how cash flow dies quietly.

Sync beats double entry

If your field tool doesn't talk to QuickBooks, someone is retyping line items at 9pm. That's margin leak.
