What PayRoute is
PayRoute brings route planning, job completion, and payment collection into one tool for outdoor service crews. Users can arrange stops by dragging and reordering them, assign crews and vehicles, and send turn-by-turn navigation to crew phones. Service agreements can generate jobs and routes on weekly, biweekly, monthly, seasonal, one-time, or on-demand schedules. PayRoute monitors weather by service zone and can alert users to conditions that may affect work. After a job is completed, it can generate an invoice and send it by text or email with an online payment link. Payment options include Tap to Pay, chip and swipe, a Dejavoo P8 terminal, and payment links; the homepage also names Apple Pay and Google Pay. The app works offline and syncs when reconnected. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Plans start at $49/mo, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Payment processing is 2.9% + 30¢ on all plans.
