What Paythepoolman is
Paythepoolman is software for pool professionals handling billing, payments, routes and business records. Its Run Billing tool creates invoices for a selected customer cycle in one batch, with late fees, statements and QuickBooks sync. Payments can include cards, autopay, ACH, Apple Pay and Google Pay; ACH and wallet payments require the Pool Junction add-on. Route tools offer one-click optimization, live progress and technician GPS trails without additional hardware. Paythepoolman Plus is the technician app, while the optional branded Pool Junction customer app shows balances, invoices, bids, service history and messages. Other tools include lead management, contactless bidding, financial records, bank feeds, task and project management, and fleet management. Integrations listed include QuickBooks Online sync, a QuickBooks Desktop importer, Orenda and LaMotte SpinTouch. The subscription is $50 base plus $15 per technician, or $65/mo for one technician; each technician needs an account. Adding customers does not increase the bill. Add-ons, card processing and text credits cost extra. A 30-day trial is listed.
