Step right up. Actually, have a seat. This won't take long.
The old-school salesman, updated for 2026: firm handshake, straight answers, and nobody has to "go talk to the manager." Payment-only tools move the money and stop there. I handle the whole job: quotes, change orders, milestones, a customer portal, and payment, all under your own brand. Team members are included on every plan. Here is the whole pitch, numbers included.
Type a payment amount and see the all-in fee on it, processing and platform together, for Grover Work and the other tools. The monthly plan price is not counted here. The calculator further down adds it in.
Enter an amount between $1 and $1,000,000.
Close on fee, with the whole job included
The lowest fee on a $1,000 payment is $29.90 at QuickBooks Payments, $0.90 under Grover Work Pro, but it leaves out customer job portal, change orders your customer approves online, milestones tied to payment. It also costs $38 a month for the software. Grover Work gives you all of it.
And here is everything you get with it:
Join the waitlistNo contract. No credit card to join the waitlist.
On a $1,000 card payment, Grover Work Pro costs $30.80, so you take home $969.20, and costs less than 2 of 3 invoicing and payment tools compared here.
Totals include card and bank processing. Rates for the other tools are as of October 2026. Full fee terms are shared when you sign up.
Fees come out of each payment as it settles, so there is no processor invoice waiting for you at the end of the month. Then you decide whether you, your customer, or both of you cover them.
Your Grover Work plan price (Pro or Scale) is separate: one fixed amount a month, the same every month. If a customer ever disputes a charge, Stripe's dispute fee comes out of your Stripe balance when it happens.

Card networks let you add up to 3% to a card payment, so your customer covers that and you cover the rest. Not allowed in every state; Grover Work checks yours.

Card fees have limits. Card networks cap what a customer can be charged at 3% of the invoice, on credit cards only, and some states ban or limit it. Grover Work knows the rules for your state: where card fees are not allowed, that choice is switched off automatically and you keep covering card fees. Bank (ACH) fees can always be passed on.
Grover Work checks your state for you. Where passing on card fees is not allowed, the option is turned off so you never charge it by accident.
Not legal advice. Reviewed 2026-10-04. Card networks cap a card fee at 3% (Visa), never on debit or prepaid cards. Bank (ACH) payments are not affected by these rules. Grover Work turns the customer-pays option off for card payments where it is not allowed.

Civ. Code 1748.1 still bans credit card surcharges on its face. Ninth Circuit (Italian Colors v. Becerra, 2018) held it unconstitutional as applied to the plaintiffs, and the AG says it will apply that decision to similarly situated merchants only. SB 478 (eff. July 1, 2024) is a hidden-fee law; surcharges avoidable by paying cash/check/debit are generally not 'mandatory fees,' but a card-only seller must include it in price. Aggregator sources conflict (some say banned, some say legal). Treat as higher risk and get counsel before enabling.
C.R.S. 5-2-212 (effective 2022): surcharge capped at lesser of 2% or the merchant's actual processing cost; statutory notice wording required; itemized on receipt, one surcharge per transaction; no surcharge on debit/gift/cash. Willful violations can be misdemeanors under the Colorado consumer credit code. Whether the statute reaches B2B/commercial invoices was not confirmed.
Credit card surcharges prohibited by Conn. Gen. Stat. 42-133ff (CUTPA; up to $500 per violation; 2024 amendment P.A. 24-142 limited it to sales within CT). Cash discounts / dual pricing allowed with clear posted notice. Do not offer a card-fee line item; use a cash discount or build cost into price. Visa lists CT as prohibited.
No DC-specific surcharge statute found in secondary sources; network rules apply. No primary DC code search was done.

Fla. Stat. 501.0117 remains on the books but the Eleventh Circuit held it unconstitutional (Dana's Railroad Supply v. AG, 2015) and surcharging is widely practiced. New July 1, 2026 'operations charges' disclosure law applies to food-service establishments, not contractors. Disclose before payment; credit only.
Aggregators conflict: some say surcharges must not exceed actual cost and a fee-free alternative (cash/check) must be offered; I could not verify a Georgia statute. Conservative approach: offer a no-fee payment method, cap at actual cost, disclose before payment.

Some aggregators claim a 1% cap; this appears to be a conflation with the Interchange Fee Prohibition Act (interchange on sales tax/tips, effective July 1, 2026 but tied up in litigation), which does not regulate merchant surcharges. No surcharge statute confirmed.
No state law restricting card surcharges found in the sources reviewed. Card-network rules still apply.
K.S.A. 16a-2-403 amended effective Jan 1, 2025: surcharge on credit cards allowed if amount disclosed by clear and conspicuous notice at point of entry or point of sale, in advance of the transaction. No state cap. Debit not allowed (network rules). Older sources calling Kansas banned are stale.
No state law restricting card surcharges found in the sources reviewed. Card-network rules still apply.
Credit card surcharges: no state restriction found. NEW: Act 751 (La. R.S. 51:3081-3082), effective Aug 1, 2026, prohibits retail businesses from surcharging debit cards (consumer suits after 30-day cure notice; AG enforcement). Make sure fee logic excludes debit, including 'convenience fee' programs.
M.G.L. c.140D 28A(a)(2): 'No seller in any sales transaction may impose a surcharge on a cardholder who elects to use a credit card in lieu of cash, check or similar means.' Cash discounts allowed if offered to all and disclosed. Statute text covers credit cards; network rules still bar debit surcharges. Enforced by AG and via c.93A.
No state law restricting card surcharges found in the sources reviewed. Card-network rules still apply.
Title 9-A 8-509: a seller may not impose a surcharge on a cardholder who uses a credit OR debit card instead of cash/check. Government entities are exempt; private contractors are not. Cash discounts allowed if the higher price is the regular price. Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection enforces. Visa lists ME as prohibited.
Michigan Dept. of Consumer Protection states Michigan has no law restricting credit/debit surcharges; network rules apply (notice at entrance/POS, online disclosure, receipt itemization). Debit/prepaid prohibited by network rules.
Minn. Stat. 325G.051: surcharge up to 5% of purchase price; must be disclosed orally and by sign in person, conspicuously online, orally by phone; card issuers cannot surcharge their own cards; civil penalty up to $500 plus refund. Separate 2025 junk-fee law (HF 3438) also requires fees to be disclosed up front. Network caps (3% Visa) are lower and still apply.

P.L. 2023, c.146: surcharge may not exceed seller's actual cost to process the card; disclose amount (a percentage is fine) before the sale: signs at entry/point of sale, checkout page online, verbal notice by phone. Credit only per network rules.
No state law restricting card surcharges found in the sources reviewed. Card-network rules still apply.
Nickel reports no Nevada statute (AG consumer alert only); other aggregators claim a cost-of-acceptance cap and $500 penalty. Unverified, so keep the surcharge at or below actual cost, disclose, and treat as lower confidence.
GBL 518 as amended eff. Feb 11, 2024: surcharge cannot exceed the merchant's actual card cost; must display the total price including surcharge (highest price) before purchase; receipt-only line items or percentage-only signs not sufficient; cannot advertise as a 'cash discount' instead. Penalty up to $500 per violation. Credit only (network rule).

Prior ban (14A 2-417) repealed by SB 677, effective Nov 1, 2025 (older sources and Visa's Feb 2024 list still show Oklahoma as banned; that is stale). Now: cap is lesser of 2% or actual processing cost; clear notice at point of entry/sale (online: homepage and checkout); not allowed if card is the only payment method accepted; credit cards only in practice (network debit ban).

Puerto Rico Law 150 (2008), 10 L.P.R.A. 11, prohibits surcharges on card payments. First Circuit (May 29, 2025) held federal law (Cash Discount Act, Durbin Amendment) does not preempt it. Visa lists PR as prohibited. Treat as unusable; confirm with local counsel before any PR launch.

Some aggregators say South Dakota limits surcharges to actual cost; I could not locate a statute. Conservative approach: cap at actual cost, disclose at entry/POS/online, credit only.

Tex. Fin. Code 339.001 bans credit card surcharges (exceptions for government/private schools); Fifth Circuit upheld it in Rowell v. Pettijohn (2016). Many aggregator sites claim it is unenforceable after a later injunction, but I could not confirm that with a primary source. OCCC guidance allows uniform convenience fees applied to all payment methods, cash discounts, or a fee-free card option. Do not rely on surcharging in Texas without counsel; consider a cash-discount/uniform-fee fallback.
Utah's 2013 surcharge restriction (SB 67) expired in 2014. Division of Consumer Protection says the customer must be told before payment; a receipt line item alone is not sufficient. No cap beyond network rules.
SB 1212 (eff. July 1, 2025) requires total price including mandatory fees to be shown clearly in advertising; an avoidable card surcharge is likely not a 'mandatory' fee but disclose it up front anyway. A proposed full ban (HB 1519) did not take effect per Nickel. Not primary-verified.

Taking a card is the easy part. What makes you look like a pro, and gives you your evenings back, is everything wrapped around the payment. Here is what is on the lot.
One private page per job with progress, documents and what is due next. No more "where are we at?" calls.
Send a clear written quote. When the scope changes, the customer approves the change order online, and the price is on record.
Track the schedule and tie a payment to each milestone. Mark it done and the invoice goes out.
Estimate, approval, invoice and receipt in one place, with emails that carry your name and your brand.
Team members included: Starter up to 2, Pro up to 5, Scale up to 20. Field-service apps charge about $29 to $35 for each extra user.
It runs on your own site, with your logo and your customer list. Your customers stay yours. We do not see them.
Card payments typically reach your bank in about 2 business days, and bank (ACH) payments take a little longer. Your first payouts can take longer while your account is new.
Coming soon QuickBooks data export.
I have nothing against the competition. PayPal and Stripe invoicing will take your payment, and they are good at it. Accounting software keeps the books. Field-service apps run the schedule. I just happen to tie the job, the customer and the money together. This is the general picture, so check the tool you use. I would.

That is $86 a month back in your pocket on software alone, before payment fees on either side. Not bad for one handshake.
Prices shown for the separate tools are examples. Payment fees are extra on both sides. I do not hide the fine print. It is right here.
Every one of these is a good tool at what it does, and each card starts with what it does well. The blue box under it is what Grover Work adds for a contractor running jobs.
Almost every customer already trusts PayPal, and it is quick to start.

Payments go to your own payment account and then your bank. You are the one who gets paid, and your brand and your customer data stay yours.
Not really. Press Connect payments and follow the sign-up screens, which take a few minutes. Our payment partner then reviews your details, and approval can take a few days, so it is smart to start early. You can build quotes in the meantime. You do it yourself, so there is nothing to pay for setup. If you would rather have us do it for you, that is $49 one time.
Texting is not something we charge for. You connect your own texting provider and we plug into it.
