Services

Send estimates, secure approval and get paid

Send professional estimates, track approvals and move accepted jobs into billing without rebuilding the same details twice.

How estimating helps your service business

Create and send quotes efficiently

Build clear, itemised estimates from your customer details and service pricing, then send them digitally from your Square account.

Keep approvals moving

Give customers a simple way to review estimates so you can confirm scope, reduce back-and-forth and keep the job moving.

Bill without rework

Move approved work into invoices and collect payment online, over the phone or in person.

Track every job

See estimate, invoice and payment activity together so you know what's pending, approved and paid.

Send clearer estimates

  • Create itemised estimates with service details, quantities, pricing and notes so customers understand the scope before they approve.

  • Use professional digital documents instead of spreadsheets or manual quotation software that lives outside your payment workflow.

  • Share estimates with customers from your Square account and keep customer details ready for future jobs.

Move from approval

  • Turn accepted work into invoices so billing starts with the details your customer already approved.

  • Accept online invoice payments and track which invoices are paid, unpaid or overdue from the same workflow.

  • Use deposits, milestone billing or scheduled payment steps where they fit your service process and cash flow.

Protect the scope

  • Add clear terms, timelines and service notes so customers know what's included before work begins.

  • Pair estimates with contracts when a job needs signed terms, service agreements or extra documentation.

  • Keep approved estimate details accessible if the job changes and you need to discuss new work or updated pricing.

Guides for quoting, billing and getting paid


FAQ

  • What is estimating software?

    Estimating software helps businesses create, send and track digital estimates for customer approval. For service sellers, it replaces manual spreadsheets and scattered messages with a clearer workflow for pricing work, confirming scope and preparing to bill.

  • Is Square estimating software free?

    Square estimating tools are available with Square Invoices from $0/mo. You only pay Square processing fees when you take a payment. The Free plan includes the essentials for sending estimates and invoices; paid plans add advanced tools for specific business types. Current fees and plan details are on the Square Australia pricing page.

  • Can I turn an estimate into an invoice?

    Yes. Once a customer approves an estimate, you can move the job into invoices so you don't have to re-enter the same customer, service and pricing details. This helps reduce admin time and keeps the estimate-to-payment workflow connected.

  • Who is quotation software for?

    Quotation software can be useful for many businesses that need to price work before it begins, send professional estimates to customers and take payment once the job is approved.

    It is especially helpful for service-based businesses, including tradies and contractors, electricians, cleaners, home repair businesses, consultants, event providers and other sellers that quote before delivering work. It can also support businesses with more complex or custom jobs where pricing, scope and approval need to be clearly documented.

  • Does Square support construction estimating?

    Square supports service estimates, customer approvals, invoicing and payments, but it isn't specialised takeoff software for construction plans, quantity surveying or subcontractor bid levelling. If you need detailed plan measurement or spec-driven cost estimation, use a dedicated construction estimating tool alongside Square for billing and payments.

  • Can customers pay online after approving an estimate?

    Yes. After accepted work is invoiced, customers can pay online through Square invoice payment options. Square also supports in-person, MOTO and online payments, so you can collect payment in the way that fits the job.

  • Can I use estimates on mobile?

    Yes. Square is built for sellers who work from the office, on site or on the move. You can manage estimating, invoicing and customer details from your Square account, which helps keep job admin moving between appointments or site visits.
