Payment Processing

Moving Companies Payment Processing: Own Your Payments, Keep Your Revenue

A custom payment processing configured specifically for moving companies businesses — not a generic template you bend your operation around. Most moving companies owners are holding this together with Vonigo, MoveitPro, Moved and spreadsheets; this replaces the patchwork with one system that connects billing to everything else in the business.

The Challenge

What moving companies face with payments

Move duration estimates consistently wrong

Move duration estimates consistently wrong. Most platforms "solve" this by taking a cut of every transaction on top of card processing fees. We configure payments through your own Stripe account instead — standard processing rates, direct deposits to your bank, and no platform percentage on your revenue.

Truck and crew availability not visible during booking

Truck and crew availability not visible during booking. Payment friction compounds in moving companies: deposits, milestones, recurring billing, and on-site collection all have different rules. Your Hebner system handles each of those natively, so payments stop being a separate job and become the last step of the job record.

Inventory lists not connected to job

Inventory lists not connected to job. The result of a generic payment setup is a billing backlog: money you earned this week shows up in your account weeks later, if at all. We configure your payment flows for moving companies — deposits at booking, invoices on completion, auto-pay for recurring customers — so cash arrives when the work happens.

Long-distance moves require different workflow

Long-distance moves require different workflow. Instead of patching this with another app, your system is built with it in mind: payment links, card-on-file, retry logic for failed charges, and automated receipts — all configured around how moving companies customers prefer to pay.

Storage coordination tracked manually

Storage coordination tracked manually. You keep your money: your own Stripe account means no revenue skimming, standard 2.9% + $0.30 card processing, and instant visibility of every dollar in your dashboard — not in someone else's report.

The Solution

How we handle this for moving companies

moving companies businesses run on payment processing — but the payment processing itself is only useful when it's connected to everything around it. Today that work is spread across disconnected tools — Vonigo, MoveitPro, Moved, and 2 more — none of which talk to each other.

The Hebner Platform is built as one operating system rather than one more app: payment processing is configured around your workflow and wired directly into scheduling, customers, jobs, and payments. Nothing is retyped, nothing waits for an end-of-day sync, and nothing lives in a spreadsheet only you can read.

What that looks like in practice:

  • Your own Stripe account. Standard processing rates, direct deposits, and zero platform percentage on your revenue.
  • Deposits at booking. Require and automatically collect upfront payment, tracked against the final invoice.
  • Recurring and subscription billing. Scheduled charges, dunning and retry logic, automated renewal notices.
  • Payment links and card-on-file. Collect by text, email, or tap — however the customer prefers to pay.
  • Real-time revenue. Every dollar lands in your dashboard the moment it settles, reconciled to the job automatically.

Because we map how your moving companies business actually operates before anything is built, the system fits on day one — and when your operation changes, the system changes with it instead of hitting a template ceiling.

Moving Companies Workflow Configuration

We map your actual moving companies operation first — how work is scheduled, who touches it, and how money is collected — then configure the system around that reality.

Moving companies coordinate crew scheduling, truck allocation, packing services, and often storage.

Payment Processing, Integrated

Payment Processing runs inside the same system as your jobs, customers, routes, and labor — one source of truth instead of five tabs.

Replaces the moving companies tool patchwork: Vonigo, MoveitPro, Moved.

Real-Time Owner Dashboard

Every transaction, job update, and clock event lands on your dashboard as it happens — revenue, costs, and capacity in one live view.

Know today's numbers today, not at the end of the week.

Payments Through Your Own Stripe Account

You connect your own Stripe account: standard processing rates, direct deposits, and no platform percentage skimmed from your revenue.

On $500K of card volume, avoiding a platform revenue cut saves thousands a year.

Built to Grow With You

When you add team members, locations, or service lines, the system extends instead of hitting a template ceiling — custom work is the norm, not a workaround.

Designed for where moving companies businesses go next: additional trucks, long-distance capability, storage facility.

In Practice

Real-world scenarios

How moving companies actually use this

The deposit that stops no-shows

Deposits collected by text and tracked in a notebook don't get collected. In your system, deposits are required at booking, charged automatically, and applied to the final invoice — no chasing, no awkward reminder texts, and moving companies bookings that don't show up stop costing you money.

What the platform percentage actually costs you

Run the math: many platforms take 1–2% of revenue on top of standard card fees. On $500K of card volume, that's $5,000–$10,000 a year for the privilege of them holding your customer's payment. Your Hebner setup runs payments through your own Stripe account at standard rates — that money stays in your business.

Failed payments that fix themselves

A card on file expires mid-season. Generic setups let the charge fail silently; you find out when you notice the missing deposit. Your system retries intelligently, emails the customer a secure update link, and only escalates to you if it still doesn't resolve. Recovered revenue without the collection calls.

Common questions

Why Stripe instead of our current processor?

Three reasons: you own the account directly (no middleman skimming a percentage), the rates are standard and transparent, and Stripe's infrastructure supports everything from card-on-file to ACH and customer financing — configured inside your operating system rather than bolted on.

Can it handle deposits, recurring billing, and one-time payments together?

Yes — that mix is normal for moving companies businesses. Deposits at booking, subscriptions on schedule, and one-time invoices on completion are all native workflows in the same system, with retry logic and receipts handled automatically.

How long does implementation take for a moving companies business?

Most moving companies businesses go live in 4–6 weeks. We start with a discovery process that maps how your operation actually runs, configure the system around that, migrate your customer and job data, and train your team. You keep running your current tools in parallel until you're confident cutting over.

What does it cost?

Every system is scoped to your operation after a discovery call, so pricing depends on what you need configured. The trade-off that stays constant: you own the system and your own Stripe account, instead of paying a rising monthly seat fee plus a percentage of your revenue forever.

Can you migrate our existing customer and job data?

Yes. Customer lists, service history, recurring schedules, and pricing import from your current tools during implementation — including exports from Vonigo and MoveitPro. You don't start from a blank slate.

Do we need technical staff to run it?

No. The system is built to be operated by you and your team, not by an IT person. Day-to-day work happens in a mobile app and one dashboard; anything that needs changing, we handle — configuration and support are part of the service, not a ticket queue.

What if our moving companies workflow has something unusual?

That's the point of building instead of buying. Off-the-shelf software fails exactly at the unusual parts. We design around your specific workflow — pricing models, crew structures, customer requirements — and those custom pieces are the system's strength, not a workaround.
