If you run a pest control business, getting paid on the spot matters. That’s exactly why PEST-APP includes PAY NOW, Stripe’s integrated payments service powered by Temisoft. With PAY NOW, your team can accept payments on-site or online, use Tap & Go, generate QR codes, and drop PAY NOW links into SMS or email, so every completed job can become a paid invoice in a few taps.
What is PAY NOW (and why enable Stripe through it)?
PAY NOW is the only payment solution fully integrated with PEST-APP, designed specifically for pest management businesses. Key benefits include:
Tap & Go contactless: on-site, customers tap and pay instantly.
QR code payments: show a one-time QR from PEST-APP for immediate
checkout on the customer’s device.
Flexible payment methods: major cards, bank transfers, and supported local options.
Payment links via SMS or email: perfect for after-visit invoices.
Security built-in: PCI compliance and 3D Secure (3DS) to help prevent
fraud/chargebacks.
Fraud protection– Stripe Radar.
Smart recovery– Adaptive Acceptance, and automatic retries recover failed
payments.
One place to manage it all – view payments, refunds, and reporting inside PEST-APP.
