Instant Payout for Home Service Pros: Get Paid in Minutes, Not Days

Instant Payout for Home Service Pros | Get Paid Fast with ScanPay
Published on
May 26, 2025

If you're a field service professional, you already know how unpredictable the workday can be. One hour you’re fixing a burst pipe. The next, you’re racing to your next customer’s location. You hustle hard to get paid—but then you wait 2–3 business days for your money to actually show up in your bank.

What if you didn’t have to wait at all? That’s exactly what Instant Payout from ScanPay is here to solve.

What Is Instant Payout?

Instant Payout is a simple, on-demand feature inside the ScanPay app that allows you to move your available funds to your bank account within 30 minutes—any time, day or night.

Unlike standard payouts, which follow a T+2 business day schedule (2 business days after the transaction), Instant Payout gives you access to your earnings immediately when you need them most.

It’s:
  • Optional – use it only when you need it

  • Available 24/7 – including weekends & holidays

  • Fast & Secure – powered by Stripe’s trusted infrastructure

Why It Matters for Home Service Pros

Whether you're a plumber, locksmith, HVAC technician, electrician, pest control expert, or manage a field team—you know cash flow is critical.

Here's why instant payout in field service is a game-changer:

1. Eliminate Cash Flow Gaps

Say goodbye to payout delays that leave you short on fuel money or unable to grab supplies before the next job. Instant Payout ensures your money works on your schedule.

2. Respond to Emergencies Without Delay

You might need to rush to a job that requires parts you didn’t plan for. Instant access to funds means you can act fast—without dipping into your savings or credit.

3. Support Payroll and Reimbursements

Got a technician who needs to be paid today? No problem. Use Instant Payout to settle reimbursements or commissions without waiting for the regular cycle.

4. Stay Competitive and In Control

Customers love fast service. But fast service takes fast money. Use Instant Payout to restock tools, top up your truck, or take that extra job without second-guessing your bank balance.

How Much Does Instant Payout Cost?

ScanPay keeps things transparent:

Type Cost Timeline
Regular Payout Free 2 business days
Instant Payout 1.5% fee
$5 minimum fee
Under 30 minutes
Available 24/7

- Example: For a $500 job, Instant Payout would cost $7.50.
- You get $492.50 deposited instantly into your bank.

There are no subscriptions, contracts, or hidden fees. Only pay the fee when you choose to use it.

How to Use Instant Payout in ScanPay

Using Instant Payout is easy and mobile-first, just like everything else in the ScanPay app.

Steps:

  1. Open the ScanPay app

  2. Go to Accounting > Earnings

  3. Tap "Instant Payout"

  4. Confirm the transfer

  5. Funds arrive in your account within 30 minutes (often faster)

That’s it. It works any day, any time—even Sundays or holidays.

Real-Life Use Case: Technician on the Move

Let’s say you’re an HVAC pro named Mike. It’s Friday evening, you’ve just completed a $750 repair. You need to buy a new compressor tomorrow morning, but your regular payout won’t arrive until Monday.

Instead of stressing, you tap “Instant Payout” in the ScanPay app. In 30 minutes, your funds are in the bank, and you’re ready for tomorrow’s job—no delays, no credit card debt, no missed opportunities.

Is It Safe?

Yes. ScanPay uses Stripe’s secure infrastructure for all transfers. Stripe processes billions in payments annually for businesses across the globe.

Your data and funds are handled with industry-standard security protocols.

Business Owners: Why You Should Offer Instant Payout to Your Team

Instant Payout isn’t just for solo techs—it’s a smart tool for business owners too. Here’s how it helps you:

  • Boost technician morale by offering same-day access to earnings

  • Keep operations smooth even when regular banking is closed

  • Gain financial flexibility during peak seasons or emergency jobs

With no extra setup or contract needed, it’s a feature you can start using today—only when you want to.
