Material Ordering
Can I create material orders from Roofr?

Yes! You can create, send and track your material orders right in your Roofr dashboard.

Payments & Invoicing
What is a credit card chargeback?

A credit card chargeback occurs when the cardholder disputes a transaction. Chargebacks occur for several reasons, including:

  • Fraudulent transactions
  • Shipping, delivery, or pricing issues
  • Credit or refund not processed
  • Unsatisfied with product or service purchased
  • Duplicate charges
  • Unrecognizable business name on credit card statement

In the event of a chargeback, the funds are immediately returned to the cardholder and debited from your account. After you receive a chargeback notification, you will be given the opportunity to contest the chargeback and submit any evidence that proves the validity of the original transaction (ie: signed documentation, photos of completed work). For any chargeback, please contact us at [email protected]

What is an ACH Return?

An ACH return is a message from the check writer’s bank (your customer’s bank) saying that they couldn’t make the deposit. Returns can happen for several reasons, such as insufficient funds or an old account. If you have received an ACH return notification, there will be a resolution step included in your email as well as the payment itself. For more details about the error itself, please see the ACH return code help article here.

In the event of an ACH return, you will see the money debited from your account. This is because we will pre-fund you in good faith and in an effort to get you paid as quickly as possible.

In every case, you should contact your customer to address why the return happened and request that the customer contact their bank to have the transaction go through. Once you re-process the payment, funding will occur within 2-3 business days.

Is there an integration with Quickbooks?

Not yet, but we are working on this now! We are hoping to have an integration out in the first half of 2024. In the meantime, you can export your invoices and payments into a CSV.

Can anyone on my team take payments?

Yes! With Roofr Payments anyone on your account can create and send payment requests, without having access to sensitive accounting details.

Can I take partial payments?

Yes! You can request and submit payments for any amount less than the balance of the invoice. Additionally, you can charge any amount to any payment method (card or ACH) that your customer prefers.

How do we get billed for the processing fees?

You will receive 100% of the transaction when it is deposited in your account, so no fees will be taken off up front. Instead, our processor will draft the fees at the end of the month for the payments that were processed.

Can you pass through the CC fees?

Not yet, but we are going to be working on this in the first half of 2024! In the time being, you can always add a line item to the invoice called “convenience fee”.

Do I need to submit a credit application to use Roofr Payments?

Yes, the business owner needs to submit an application. Our processor will do business credit pull first, and they may run additional credit checks on the owner(s) if needed. These checks will be soft credit pulls. The application takes about 1 day to review and once approved, about 2-3 business days for your account to be activated.

How much does Roofr Payments cost?

There is no additional subscription fee to use Roofr Payments once you are one of our paid plans (Pro/Premium/Elite). There are additional payment processing fees which can be found on the one pager.

At a high level, we charge 2.8% + 30 cents per credit card transaction for Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. For Amex, this will be 3.25% + 30 cents per transaction.

For ACH, this will be .5% with a maximum of $40 so you will never exceed $40 on an ACH transaction.

Can I integrate my quickbooks account?

Not yet. But it’s on our radar. In the meantime - we’ve got some workarounds with zapier. Talk to an expert to learn how.

Does Roofr CRM have tools to generate leads?

With Roofr’s Instant Estimator, you can not only generate leads - you generate QUALIFIED leads. The instant estimator replaces gathering contact information from a form, and actually provides an instant quote based on the lead’s address. It’s doesn’t replace a full marketing strategy, but makes it more efficient. Way more efficient.

Can I create custom stages in my board view?

Yes! You can customize your job stages in the job board to match your existing workflows.

Can I customize the job board view of my pipeline?

Yes, you can customize your pipeline dashboard based on job stages. Each stage is shown as column in your kanban view, and you can add or remove them at any time. If you want to play god, you can also change your pipeline view with filters. You can view the active pipeline by team member, job value, date range - you name it.
