Payment Plans and Automated Review Collection: Two Features That Grow Your Stone Business

Big Projects Need Flexible Payment

A full kitchen countertop job can cost thousands of dollars. Not every client can — or wants to — pay the full amount upfront. But as a fabricator, you need cash flow to buy materials and pay your team.

The solution? Structured payment plans that give your clients flexibility while keeping your cash flow predictable.

Built-In Payment Plans

Remnant Finder lets you create installment-based payment plans directly from any invoice. Here’s how it works:

Set the frequency: weekly, biweekly, or monthly installments
Define custom amounts for each installment — split equally or customize (e.g., 50% upfront, 25% at fabrication, 25% at installation)
Choose start dates and auto-generate the installment schedule
The system validates that all installments add up to the invoice total

When a client makes a payment, the installment is marked as paid automatically. Overdue installments are flagged. You always know where you stand.

Multiple Payment Methods

Accept the payment methods your clients prefer:

Credit card — Process online through QuickBooks Payments
ACH / Bank transfer — Lower fees for larger amounts
Cash — Record manually for in-person payments
Check — Track check numbers and clearance
PIX — For Brazilian clients (instant bank transfer)

Automatic Payment Reminders

Remnant Finder sends automated reminders for upcoming and overdue payments. Your client gets a polished email with a link to view their invoice and pay online — no awkward phone calls needed.

Collect Reviews That Win You More Jobs

Here’s a growth tip most fabricators miss: the best time to ask for a review is immediately after a successful installation. The client is excited about their new countertops, and they’re most likely to leave a positive review.

Remnant Finder automates this with a two-step review funnel:

Step 1: Internal Review

After a project is completed, the system automatically sends your client a review invitation. They rate their experience on a simple scale.

Step 2: Google Review Redirect

If the rating is 4 or 5 stars, Remnant Finder immediately prompts the client to leave a public Google review — with a direct link to your Google Business profile. Positive reviews go public. Negative feedback stays private for you to address.

Smart Timing

Configurable delay after project completion (default: 24 hours)
The system checks for duplicate requests — no client gets spammed
Emails are branded with your company name and logo
Multi-language support — reviews go out in the client’s preferred language

Why Reviews Matter for Fabricators

Google reviews directly impact your local search ranking. More positive reviews = more visibility when homeowners search for “countertop fabricator near me.” It’s the most cost-effective marketing you can do.
