Homeowners hand over cash — or pay a large deposit — before the work is done, with no certainty it will be completed to the standard agreed. Tradespeople start jobs without any confirmation that payment is coming, then spend time chasing invoices after the fact.
Neither side should have to operate on blind faith. A structured payment flow removes that uncertainty — not by adding bureaucracy, but by making the process transparent and predictable for everyone.
That's what CTRON's payment system does. It's not a financial product. It's a trust mechanism built into the job workflow.
You authorise payment when you accept a quote. Funds are only released after you confirm the job is complete — no more hoping it all works out.
Payment is authorised and confirmed before you start. You can see it's there. No chasing invoices, no awkward conversations, no late payments.
When both sides understand the payment terms upfront — and they're documented — the scope for disagreement narrows significantly.
Job description and location submitted through CTRON. Free, and no obligation to proceed.
Labour and materials itemised separately. The homeowner sees exactly what they're paying for and why.
When the homeowner accepts a quote, they authorise payment through the CTRON app via Stripe. Funds are authorised through the platform and neither side can access them yet.
The job is carried out. They know the payment is confirmed and waiting — no chasing required.
The homeowner reviews the work and confirms it's done to their satisfaction inside the app.
Confirmation triggers the payment release. The tradesperson receives the full agreed amount. Clean, clear, and documented.
Stripe is used by millions of businesses globally — from small shops to global enterprises. Their payment infrastructure underpins CTRON's secure in-app payment flow, so every transaction is processed through an industry-standard, widely trusted platform.
CTRON is a home services platform, not a financial services provider. We use Stripe's infrastructure to create a better payment experience for homeowners and tradespeople — nothing more, nothing less.
