What is Window Cleaning Billing Software?
Window cleaning billing software replaces the cash-in-the-letterbox arrangement, the GoCardless chase, and the end-of-month bank-transfer round-up with automated advance payment collection.
- ✓ Bills clients in advance before the clean is scheduled
- ✓ Collects payment via Stripe. No more cash or GoCardless dependence
- ✓ Automates monthly recurring round billing
- ✓ Manages commercial contract billing via Stripe
- ✓ Tracks outstanding balances per customer and per round
For window cleaning sole traders and growing round businesses, billing software creates the financial discipline and cash flow certainty that makes a round genuinely scalable.
The problems window cleaning billing software solves
Manual workarounds that cost window cleaning businesses hours every week.
Cash left in envelopes that aren't there when you arrive
The missing envelope costs you the job income and the cleaning time. Advance payment via Stripe eliminates the cash dependence completely, payment confirmed before you leave the yard.
Chasing 80 customers for bank transfer after every monthly clean
Manually chasing 80 individual bank transfers after the round is completed represents hours of admin that generates no income. Stripe bills automatically, in advance, every month.
Commercial cleaning contracts billed irregularly or late
Commercial clients with proper procurement processes need a formal invoice on a predictable schedule. Bizzly sends the commercial invoice automatically on the agreed billing date.
No way to know who hasn't paid before starting the round
Starting a round and noting who has or hasn't paid as you go costs route efficiency. Pre-clean advance billing means you know who's paid before you load the van.
How Bizzly works
From sign-up to your first paid booking in under 15 minutes.
Choose your industry Launch Pack
Pick the pre-configured template for your industry. Subscription plans, booking calendar, and Stripe payments are already set up, just add your services and rates.
Customer pays first, then books
A customer subscribes or buys a session pack. Stripe processes the payment. Bizzly creates their quota. They can now book sessions up to their limit.
Calendar enforces quota automatically
The booking calendar only shows slots to customers who have available quota. No double-bookings, no unpaid slots, no manual checking, the system handles it.
How Bizzly handles window cleaning billing software
Purpose-built features for window cleaning businesses — not bolted-on workarounds.
Advance round billing before cleans
Bill all clients on a round 3–7 days before the scheduled clean date. Stripe charges run automatically. You start the clean with confirmed payment. No chasing, no missing envelopes.
Pre-clean advance billingMonthly recurring round billing
Each residential customer is on a recurring Stripe plan, monthly, 4-weekly, or 8-weekly. Billing runs on the configured cycle automatically. No monthly billing action required from you.
Automated round billing cycleCommercial contract billing
Commercial clients receive an automatic Stripe billing charge on the agreed date each month. Separate from residential recurring billing. Managed under commercial client accounts.
Commercial billing automationUnpaid job suspension
If a recurring Stripe payment fails and is not resolved after automated retries, the client's next clean is flagged and their round slot is held rather than serviced until payment is confirmed.
Non-pay clean suspensionReal-world use cases
How window cleaning billing software works in practice.
Residential round with 120 customers on monthly billing
£12/clean for 120 households. Stripe charges 5 days before the round begins. By Monday morning £1,440 has been collected. The round runs with zero cash-collection activity.
4-weekly billing cycle aligned to clean frequency
A 4-weekly clean cycle bills on a 4-weekly Stripe schedule. Billing stays in sync with the clean regardless of month length. No confusing "is it this month or next?" misalignment.
Commercial office building monthly contract
£350/month for weekly external window cleaning of a 3-storey office. Stripe bills on the 1st of each month. Certificate of service issued on completion.
Commercial gutter clean billed separately
An annual gutter clean at £200 billed separately from the monthly window cleaning contract. Stripe issues a separate one-off invoice when the gutter clean is scheduled.
