Get progress and supply payments without waiting on the mail

Commercial contractors, subcontractors and building suppliers can collect progress, completion and supply payments by check draft: the paying business approves the exact amount from an emailed link, and the contractor or supplier prints the draft and deposits it that day.

How do contractors and suppliers usually get paid?

Commercial jobs are often paid by check: progress payments, completion payments and supplier invoices, each waiting on the paying company's approval and check run.

Crews, materials and equipment have to be paid in the meantime.

Where do check drafts help?

  • Progress payments approved at each milestone.
  • Completion payments on finished commercial jobs.
  • Supplier invoices to contractors that buy materials every week.
  • Change orders the customer has signed off on but hasn't paid.

Which authorization fits best?

Each progress or completion payment as a one-time approval for the exact amount. For contractors who buy from you every week, a blanket authorization with a weekly frequency and a cap.

DraftPay is for commercial work billed to businesses, not homeowners.

What does a typical week look like with DraftPay?

  1. 1

    Drop in the invoice or check

    Quick Draft reads the payer, bank details and amount, and matches the customer you already have.

  2. 2

    Your customer approves

    From an emailed link, or not at all under a blanket authorization or one you already have on file.

  3. 3

    Print the drafts together

    Approved drafts wait in your print queue. Print them in one batch on blank check stock.

  4. 4

    Deposit and move on

    Deposit them at your own bank. Every draft keeps its signed record.

Common questions

Can I collect from homeowners?

No. DraftPay drafts on business accounts only.

Can someone else on my team approve big drafts first?

Yes. Set an amount, and drafts above it need a second teammate's approval before they can print.
