Example: a £600.00 job with fees covered (the default)
| Your price for the job | £600.00 |
| Payment fees built into the price | +£25.00 |
| Your customer pays | £625.00 |
| Paid30 platform fee (2%) | -£12.50 |
| Card processing fee (estimate) | -£9.58 |
| Estimated net to your bank | £602.92 |
You keep your full £600.00
Cover payment processing fees is switched on for every new quote and invoice. Paid30 rounds the price up to a clean figure so the fees come out of the customer's payment, not your margin.
Prefer to absorb the fees yourself? Switch it off when you create the invoice. Offering the optional 30-minute discount reduces what the customer pays if they settle quickly. Figures are estimates; the exact card fee depends on how your customer pays.
Questions tradespeople ask.
How does the 30-minute discount work?
When you send an invoice, you add a small discount that only applies for 30 minutes. Your customer sees the saving and the deadline, and the payment page shows a live timer. If they pay within the window, they save money and the invoice is marked as paid instantly. After 30 minutes, the page switches to the full amount automatically.
Can I add VAT to my invoices?
Yes. You set your business details and VAT rate in settings, and every invoice you create includes a full UK VAT breakdown, your VAT number, and sequential invoice numbers. Your customer receives a receipt and VAT PDF automatically once they pay.
What happens when the timer runs out?
The payment page updates in real time. The discounted price disappears and the customer sees the original full amount. They can still pay with the same secure link, but the early-payment discount is no longer available.
How do my customers receive the invoice?
Each invoice gets a unique, private payment link. We email it to your customer automatically, and you can also send it by text. They open the link from their message, choose card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and pay in a couple of taps — no account needed.
Can my customers pay from their phone?
Yes. The payment page is built for mobile first. Whether your customer opens the link from an email or a text, the page works in their browser and they can pay with whatever method is already saved on their phone.
How do I get paid?
You connect your own bank account once, then card, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments are taken instantly and paid out to that account on a rolling schedule, typically a few days after each payment. Your very first payout takes longer, usually 7 to 14 days, while your new payout account completes a one-off verification. Your balance and expected payout dates are always visible in the app, and every payment is timestamped as proof of when it was made.
Can I attach job certificates to an invoice?
Yes. You can upload Gas Safe records, EICRs, risk assessments, method statements and photos when you create the invoice. Your customer receives them on the payment page and can download them without creating an account.
Does Paid30 handle CIS deductions?
Yes. If you work under the Construction Industry Scheme, you can enable CIS in your settings, add your UTR, and choose the 20% or 30% deduction rate. The invoice separates labour and materials, applies the deduction to labour only, and shows the breakdown on the PDF and payment page.
What does it cost?
There is no monthly subscription. Paid30 keeps a 2% platform fee only when you successfully receive a payment. On top of that, card processing fees are charged separately by our payment processor on each transaction, typically around 1.5% + 20p for UK cards. See the pricing page for a worked example.
Does it work with my accounting software?
Yes. Every account can connect Xero or QuickBooks and every paid invoice is pushed across for you: the invoice itself, any early-payment discount you gave, and the Paid30 fee. That way your books match your bank without re-typing anything.
Where do my receipts and statements come from?
Every payment produces a tax receipt PDF you and your customer can download, and your documents page holds a month-by-month CSV statement showing gross taken, discounts given, fees and net paid into your bank — ready to hand straight to your accountant.
Can I split a large job into staged payments?
Yes. You can create a job with multiple stages — deposit, milestone, final — and send an invoice for each stage when the work is done. Each stage has its own tax point, receipt and 30-minute discount window, so your customer can pay as the job progresses.
Can I record expenses for Making Tax Digital?
Yes. Upload or photograph receipts and Paid30 extracts the supplier, date, total and VAT. If you're VAT registered, you can record VAT separately, and your expenses export alongside your invoices in the quarterly accountant pack.
What is the accountant pack?
It's a single ZIP file you download at the end of a quarter. It contains your paid invoices as PDFs, your expense receipts, and CSV statements showing money in, money out, discounts and fees — sorted into Invoices/ and Expenses/ folders. It's ready for Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or a manual handover to your accountant.
