The Problem
Chasing Invoices Wastes Your Time
You've finished the job, sent the invoice, and now you're waiting. Days turn into weeks. Chasing payment is unpaid work that takes you away from earning.
Cash Flow Uncertainty
Not knowing when — or if — you'll get paid makes it impossible to plan ahead. Delayed payments create a knock-on effect across your entire business.
Payment Disputes Damage Relationships
Disagreements over what was quoted versus what was charged lead to uncomfortable conversations and sometimes lost customers.
Manual Bookkeeping Is a Headache
Tracking who's paid, who hasn't, and reconciling bank transfers against jobs is tedious, error-prone, and eats into your evenings.
How Sparky Helps
Hold-Then-Capture via Stripe
Payment is secured from the customer before work begins. The funds are held via Stripe Connect and only captured once the job is complete — so you always know you'll be paid.
Automatic Payout After 24-Hour Review
Once the job is marked complete, there's a 24-hour review window for the customer. After that, payment is automatically released to you — no chasing required.
10% Fee Paid by Customer, Not You
Sparky's 10% service fee is added on top of your quote and paid by the customer. Your quoted price is exactly what you receive.
No Subscription or Monthly Fees
Unlike traditional payment platforms that charge monthly fees, Sparky is completely free for electricians. You only pay when you get paid — and even then, the customer covers the fee.
