    • The scope and the price, on its own Q-number, so it never gets mixed up with an invoice.
    • A good-until date. After it, accepting is blocked on the page.
    • Accept or decline, recorded with the date and time either way.
    • A deposit that invoices itself the moment they accept, pay link ready.
    • Up to eight named stages and a balance line. Bill a stage with a tap, or when the job moves.

Questions about quotes and progress billing

What your customer sees, how deposits and stages bill, and what people ask before they send their first quote.

What is a handipay quote, and do customers need an account to accept one?

handipay quotes let a tradesperson in Canada price a job, send it, and get a yes on record. Text the link, email it, or show a QR code at the kitchen table. Your customer reads the scope and the price and taps accept or decline in their browser: no account, no app, and you do not need their email on file.

How do the deposit and stages work, and how many can I set?

An accepted quote can bill itself. Set a deposit as a percentage, up to eight named stages, and a balance line that keeps the total matched to the contract. The deposit invoices the moment they accept, pay link ready. Stages bill when you tap them, or on their own if you tag one to the job starting or finishing. Billed stages lock, and anything you have not billed you can still rename, resize or remove.

Is an accepted quote a signed contract?

It's a recorded acceptance with the date and time, not a signature. Keep your usual contract alongside it if you use one.

What happens when a quote expires?

Once the good-until date passes, accepting is blocked automatically, right on the page. Send a fresh quote whenever you're ready.

Can I edit a quote after I send it?

You can still reshape any part of the schedule you haven't billed yet, deposit percentage or stage names included. For everything else, pull the quote back and send a new one.

Does a quote, a deposit or a stage schedule cost extra?

Sending a quote is free and so is an acceptance. There is no extra fee for the deposit and stages themselves, and no subscription or setup fee. handipay's fee applies only when a stage or a final invoice actually gets paid, and each one is priced on its own amount.
