From job walkthrough to deposit collected. All in one flow.
Riveta gives contractors a single flow that takes them from a blank estimate to a signed approval and collected deposit — often before they leave the job site.
Build the estimate
Create a line-item estimate from scratch, use a template, or describe the job in plain English and let AI draft it for you. Takes 2–5 minutes for a typical job.
- Line items with quantities and prices
- Optional items for upgrades
- Your logo and brand color on every estimate
Send the link
Send your customer a link via text or email. They open it on their phone — no app download, no account required. They see your full scope of work, professional and branded.
- Works on any phone or browser
- Customer sees full line items and total
- They can ask a question before approving
Customer approves and signs
Your customer reviews the estimate, draws their signature, and clicks Approve. The approval is legally binding — name, email, signature, IP, and timestamp are captured.
- E-signature captured and stored
- You get notified the moment they approve
- Status updates to Approved in your dashboard
Deposit collected
Immediately after signing, your customer is taken to checkout. Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The deposit hits your account in 1–2 business days.
- No second step for the customer
- Deposit amount set by you on the estimate
- Funds deposited to your connected bank account
Common questions
How long does it take to set up Riveta?
About 20 minutes. Add your business details, connect your Stripe account, and send your first estimate. The whole setup is guided.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Riveta is a web app — you use it from your browser on phone or desktop. Your customers do not install anything either.
What if my customer is not tech-savvy?
The customer experience is just a link that opens in their browser. No account, no app, no password. If they can open a text message, they can approve your estimate.
Can I still use Riveta for estimates I collect payment on separately?
Yes. The deposit and payment features are optional. You can use Riveta purely for estimate creation and digital approval, then collect payment your usual way.
