Set payment terms in your first-clean message
The problem
Unpaid cleans often start with a customer you've not dealt with before who didn't know when to pay. Saying "payment on the day for the first clean" in the first message, kindly, saves the awkward chase later.
What AI does
AI drafts a short confirmation message for a new customer's first clean, setting out the date, price and how payment works on the day. The payment rules are yours.
