Stop driving back to the office to invoice. Send a professional electrical invoice from your phone in 60 seconds — and get paid before you leave the job site.
Electricians spend an average of 3-4 hours per week on paperwork and chasing payments. That's unbillable time that directly costs you money. The right electrician invoicing app eliminates that entirely — you invoice on site, your customer pays digitally, and your records update automatically.
In 2026 the best electrician invoicing apps are mobile-first, handle materials vs labor tax correctly, and make it easy for customers to pay by card without any hardware. Here's everything you need to know.
Most invoicing tools are built for office workers, not electricians finishing a panel upgrade or running new circuits. They require a laptop, have complex interfaces, and don't understand the specific needs of electrical work:
Finish the panel upgrade, outlet installation, or service call. Open FieldPay on your phone, tap +, select the customer, add your line items using saved rates, and send. Your customer gets a professional electrical invoice via text or email before you've packed up your tools. The invoice shows your company name, every line item with correct tax treatment, and all payment options.
Set your state's tax rate once in Settings. On any invoice, mark each line as taxable or non-taxable with a single tap. Wire, conduit, breakers, panels, outlets, switches, and fixtures — taxable. Service call fee, diagnostic labor, installation labor — non-taxable. FieldPay calculates the correct split and shows the customer a clean breakdown. No more manual calculations, no more mistakes on material tax.
Save your standard charges once in Settings → Saved items:
When building any invoice, tap "From saved items," select what was used, set quantities, and tap Add. The entire invoice builds in seconds with correct pricing and tax treatment every time.
No card reader, no Square terminal, no hardware of any kind. Every FieldPay invoice includes a PayPal button that accepts credit and debit cards. Customers tap it on their invoice link and pay by card in 30 seconds. No PayPal account required for them. Commercial customers can also pay via CashApp business or Venmo for business.
Running multiple electricians? Add worker seats at $10/month each. Every technician invoices under your company name from their own phone. You see every invoice in real time from your dashboard. Workers see only their own jobs — you see everything. All billing under one professional brand.
⚡ Electricians who invoice immediately after the job using a tap-to-pay link get paid an average of 8 days faster than those who send paper invoices or PDF attachments at end of week. On a $400 service call that means cash in hand today instead of chasing it for a month.
