For independent service owners
Payment links for pool service businesses
Make the cleaning visit, chemicals and approved repair easy to understand on one bill. Built for independent pool-service owners who collect payments from their phone.
No monthly fee · $1.50 per successful payment + Stripe fees
A payment routine that fits your work
- After a cleaning: request the agreed visit amount and describe what the service included.
- For a monthly bill: list the visits and separate chemical charges, if they were agreed with the customer.
- For repairs: get approval for the part and labor before doing the work, then create a separate request or add an invoice line.
Mandalo does not maintain chemical logs, schedule pool routes, or auto-charge monthly service. You create each bill and send reminders yourself. Card saving does not authorize unattended charges.
From an agreed job to a payment request
For this fictional $175.00 job, you could enter these agreed service lines in an itemized invoice:
- Pool cleaning — $60
- Approved filter replacement — $115
The product generates this payment-request wording for you to review and send from your own phone:
Hi! Here's your secure payment link from Clear Water Pool Service: $175.00 for pool cleaning and approved filter replacement. Pay by card in under a minute, no account needed: [your payment link]
Once the customer pays, check the paid status in your dashboard. If it is still pending, review the request and send a reminder yourself.
Use the pool service invoice template for a worked invoice and copy-ready customer messages.
Before choosing a payment tool
Mandalo adds a per-payment fee to Stripe. If you are comfortable creating links directly in Stripe, compare that option first. If you need automatic recurring invoices or payment reminders, compare a broader invoicing product.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
No monthly fee. Mandalo charges $1.50 per successful payment, plus Stripe's processing fees. Stripe's standard US domestic-card rate is typically 2.9% + 30¢; your account and payment method can change the rate.
How do I start accepting payments?
Create your account and complete Stripe connection and onboarding. Then enter the customer contact, amount and job description. Optional itemized invoices include the customer name, dates, quantities and prices.
Does Mandalo automatically text or remind my customers?
You copy the link or use your phone's messaging app to send the text yourself. Email requests can be sent by Mandalo when an email is provided. Reminders are manual; Mandalo supplies wording in English and Spanish.
Can customers use Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Eligible customers can use these wallets where supported by their device, browser and Stripe setup, or pay by card. Customers do not need a Mandalo account.
What are the payment limits?
For connected Stripe payments, the minimum is $1.51 and the maximum is $50,000.00 per request. The amount must exceed the configured Mandalo fee and meet Stripe's minimum. Stripe handles payout timing; a paid request is not an instant bank deposit.
