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.
Tradespeople send payment requests as the job progresses — for a call-out fee, materials, instalments, or a final payment. You review each one in the app and approve only when you're ready.
Send payment requests as you work — call-out fee, materials, instalments, or a final payment. Homeowners approve each one through the app. 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, trade category, location, and optional photos submitted through CTRON. Free, and no obligation to proceed.
Labour and materials itemised separately. The homeowner sees exactly what they're paying for. Chat before accepting — no commitment required yet.
Accepting a quote confirms the job and starts the workflow. The homeowner tracks progress in real time, confirms arrival, and monitors pre-work checkpoints from the app.
Staged payments can be requested throughout the job — a call-out fee, materials costs, milestone instalments, or a final payment. Each request is specific, described, and sent in-app.
Each payment request is reviewed in the app. The homeowner approves when ready. Every approved request is processed securely through our payment provider. Nothing is charged without explicit confirmation.
Once all work is done, the homeowner confirms completion in the app and approves the final payment request. The payment request is then marked as completed and recorded. Full audit trail retained for both sides.
Payments are handled through a trusted third-party payment provider, so every approved payment request is processed through industry-standard, secure checkout. CTRON Home keeps the job record, quotes, and payment request history organised around it.
CTRON Home is a home services platform, not a financial services provider. CTRON does not hold, release, or transfer funds — a payment is processed only when the homeowner approves a specific payment request.
