When you’re at a job, selecting Scan & Pay as the payment method lets your clients pay immediately in person on their mobile device, using Apple Pay, Android Pay, Google Pay, or their credit card. With Scan & Pay, your ServiceM8 app generates a QR code, which your client scans with their mobile device. A screen will then appear on their device prompting them to make a payment. They can also leave feedback and email themselves a copy of the paid invoice - right from their phone or tablet!
