    Your customer always pays the price you quoted

    Card payments never change the quoted price. When a customer pays online, you pay Stripe's fee plus Karven's 0.5%. Jobs go to Xero as draft invoices when you push them, and a deposit gets its own invoice.

    Follow-ups that ask you first

    Karven reminds you to follow up after 3 days, then 7, with Send and Skip on your Today screen. Nothing goes to the customer until you tap Send, unless you switch on Send automatically.

    Let the customer pick extras on their phone

    Make any line an optional extra, let the customer choose the quantity, or offer a pick-one between a few options. The total updates as they choose, and accepting locks in exactly what they picked.

    Choose how much detail the customer sees

    Show every line, section totals only or just the total. Set it when you send, or set your usual choice in Settings → Quote defaults. Your own copy always keeps every line, cost and profit.

    See which quotes need you

    Got a yes on the phone? Mark it accepted

    Your cost and profit on every line, kept private
