The Invoice in a Full Inbox
You emailed a PDF. It is sitting under forty other emails, and opening it requires a laptop they are not near.
Send a payment link by text. Let people pay from their phone in under a minute. Let the polite reminders go out on their own so you never have to send another "just following up" message.
Questions first? Send us a message and we will reply the same business day.
Most late payments are not people refusing to pay. They are people who meant to and then got on with their day.
You emailed a PDF. It is sitting under forty other emails, and opening it requires a laptop they are not near.
They said they would mail it. That was nine days ago. You have no idea whether it was ever written.
Nobody enjoys sending it. So it gets put off a day, then a week, then it feels too late to bring up at all.
The answer lives in a spreadsheet somebody updates when they remember, which is not often.
Card reader in the other van, no signal, or you just write it down and promise to sort it out later. Later rarely comes.
Taking something up front is awkward in person, so you skip it, and then the no-show costs you a whole slot.
A quick service call and a six-week project should not be billed the same way.
Fastest way to get paid for a finished job. They tap it, pay on their phone, and you both get a receipt. No app, no account.
For clients whose accounting department needs a document with line items and a number on it. Sent with a pay button attached.
Ask for a deposit when the appointment is made, not awkwardly in person. People who have paid something tend to show up.
Monthly retainers and service agreements that bill themselves instead of needing someone to remember on the first.
A friendly nudge a few days after, then again later if it is still open. Polite, consistent, and not coming from you personally.
Who owes what, how long it has been outstanding, and what has already been sent. Visible without opening a spreadsheet.
The same completed job, billed two different ways.
Then you drive to the next job and forget about it until that evening.
It lands in an inbox with four hundred unread messages.
They apologize. They genuinely did mean to pay it. They will get to it this week.
Nineteen days, two uncomfortable messages, and a trip to the bank for money you earned nearly three weeks ago.
A payment link goes out by text before you have packed up the van.
Phone already in hand, no laptop needed, no check to write. Receipt goes to both of you and the record updates itself.
We are not going to tell you to change your pricing or your terms. We fit the system to what you already do.
Deposits or not, payment terms, which jobs need a formal invoice and which just need a link. Including the parts that are inconsistent.
Money goes to your account on your existing terms. We set up how requests get sent, not where your money lands.
Payment requests and reminders get written in your voice and read by you first. The tone of a reminder matters more than people think.
Immediately on completion, on a schedule, or only when you press send. Reminder timing is yours to set, and easy to change later.
We are not a payment processor and we do not handle your money. Your payments go through a payment provider you hold the account with, directly into your account, on whatever terms you have agreed with them. What we build is everything around that: how the request reaches the customer, how reminders go out, and how the payment lands on their record so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
That means questions about processing fees, payout timing, and which cards are accepted are answered by your provider, not by us. We will happily help you figure out what you need before you choose one, and we will tell you plainly if something you want is outside what we can set up.
We also will not help you write a reminder that bullies someone into paying. Firm is fine. Consistent is better. The goal is getting paid while keeping a customer who calls you again next year.
A payment tool bolted onto the side of your business means someone still has to notice the job is done and go start the billing.
When payment lives with everything else, finishing the job is what sends the request. The customer record shows the call, the booking, the appointment, and what they paid, in order. The review request waits until the invoice is settled. All of it on the I Ninja App, with nobody keeping a mental list.
Job complete, invoice sent, reminder scheduled. One rule, no reminders to yourself.
See Automated WorkflowsThe payment link arrives in the same thread as everything else.
See MessagingTake a deposit at the time of booking instead of asking in person.
See Automated BookingAsk for the review once the invoice is settled, not before.
See ReviewsAnyone who finishes work first and collects afterward.
Placement fees invoiced the moment a candidate starts, with reminders that do not require a phone call to accounting.
Application fees, deposits, and one-off charges collected online instead of chased in person.
Monthly agreements that bill themselves, and project work invoiced as each stage completes.
Retainers on a schedule and deposits before work starts, without an awkward conversation about terms.
Get paid before you leave the driveway. Text the link, they tap it, done.
No bookkeeper, no accounts team. The reminders happen whether you get around to them or not.
No AI is involved in getting you paid. Everything described above can be built with rules and triggers you approve, doing exactly the same thing every time. I Ninja LLC is a human-first company, and AI is a layer you can turn on, turn off, or never switch on at all.
Including where our part stops and your provider's starts.
Yes. I Ninja LLC sets up online payment collection for service businesses. That includes payment links you can send by text or email, invoices, deposits taken at the time of booking, recurring billing for ongoing work, automatic payment reminders, and a single view of what is still outstanding.
No. I Ninja LLC is not a payment processor and does not hold or handle your money. Payments are processed through a payment provider that you hold the account with, and funds go directly to your account on the terms you have with that provider. We set up how payment requests are sent, how reminders go out, and how payments are recorded against each customer.
Processing fees are set by your payment provider, not by I Ninja LLC. Fees, payout timing, and which payment methods are accepted are all determined by the provider you choose. We can help you work out what you need before you pick one.
A payment link is a web address you send to a customer by text or email that opens a page where they can pay. They do not need to download an app or create an account. It is usually the fastest way to get paid for a completed job because most people already have their phone in hand.
Yes. A deposit can be requested at the time an appointment is booked rather than in person. This also connects to scheduling, so the booking and the deposit are recorded together.
Yes. You decide the timing and the wording, and reminders for unpaid invoices send on their own. Reminders stop once the payment is received, so nobody gets chased for something they have already paid.
Yes. Ongoing work such as monthly retainers and service agreements can be billed on a repeating schedule instead of someone having to remember to raise an invoice each period.
Yes. Outstanding payments appear in one place showing who owes what and how long it has been open. Because payments are attached to the customer record, you can also see that history alongside their calls, messages, and appointments.
I Ninja LLC is based in Trinity County, California and serves businesses across the United States. You can reach the company by email at [email protected] or through the contact page.
