Plannit Pay allows you to collect payments directly within Plannit, whether online or in person, while automating invoice management and internal accounting.

Why use Plannit Pay

With Plannit Pay, you can:

  • Get paid faster, without cheques or follow-ups

  • Offer a professional and seamless payment experience to your customers

  • Automate billing for recurring contracts

  • Track payment status directly within your jobs and invoices

  • Reduce manual data entry and prevent errors

Plannit Pay is designed to reduce administrative overhead and improve your cash flow.

Supported payment methods

You can offer one or multiple payment methods depending on your preferences:

  • Credit cards

  • Bank debit (account-to-account transfer)

  • Interac*

Once activated, you can choose whether to offer one or both methods in your estimates and invoices.

Preauthorized and recurring payments

For recurring jobs or scheduled service visits, customers can save a secure payment method and be billed automatically on the defined schedule.

How it works:

  1. The customer enters their card or bank account information once

  2. They receive a notification 24 hours before each scheduled charge

  3. The payment is processed automatically

  4. The invoice is marked as paid and a receipt is sent

In-person payments

If you want to take payments in person or over the phone:

  • You can process a payment directly through the invoice screen in Plannit

  • Or use a compatible payment terminal (if enabled on your account)

This option is ideal for seasonal maintenance work, on-demand services, or immediate payment after a job.

Security and compliance

Plannit Pay uses Stripe, along with other globally recognized payment institutions. These platforms are PCI-DSS compliant and trusted by millions of businesses.

Payment information is encrypted and stored exclusively by these specialized institutions, never by Plannit, ensuring maximum security and compliance.
