What slows plumbers down today
Customer says yes in person, then ghosts when you send a PDF that night.
Parts go on your credit card because the deposit didn't land before the supply house run.
Three open estimates and you can't remember which one the homeowner actually approved.
Change orders for unexpected pipe issues turn into uncomfortable conversations on the job.
How it works
From walkthrough to deposit in a single afternoon.
Build your estimate
Add line items, set your deposit percentage, and drop in your standard terms. Takes about 3 minutes.
Send the link
One click generates a mobile-friendly approval page. Text it, email it, or paste it into a chat — whatever your customer reads.
Get approved & paid
Customer reviews the scope, types their name as a legal signature, and pays the deposit via Stripe — all in one flow.
A typical plumbing estimate
Drop these line items straight into a new estimate. Adjust quantities and prices for the specific job.
| Line item | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic / service call | Flat fee for showing up and identifying the issue. |
| Water heater — 50 gal tank replacement (labor + tank) | Same-day replacement; pull permit if required. |
| Drain clearing — main line up to 100 ft | Cable + camera inspection; quote separately if hydro-jet needed. |
| Toilet replacement — labor only | Customer supplies fixture; you supply wax ring & supply line. |
| Repipe — copper to PEX, single bathroom | Includes drywall cut-and-patch by you, paint by homeowner. |
| After-hours surcharge | Evenings, weekends, and holidays — add as a separate line. |
Built for how plumbers actually work
Quote from the truck
Open Riveta on your phone before you back out of the driveway. Add line items, set your deposit %, and hit send. The whole thing takes under 3 minutes.
Deposit before the supply run
Customers pay through Stripe the moment they approve — before you head to the supply house. Funds go straight to your account, not ours.
Change orders for hidden surprises
Corroded shutoff valves, unexpected pipe runs — send a linked change order in seconds. Customer approves the added cost before you break open the wall.
I quote on the truck now. Customer signs while I'm still in their driveway and the deposit hits before I roll to the next call.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace my invoicing software?
No — it's focused on the approval step. Once an estimate is approved and deposit collected, you can push the rest to your existing invoicing tool.
Can I send an estimate by text?
You get a public approval link. Paste it into a text, email, or DM — whatever your customer actually reads.
What about emergency / after-hours work?
Send the estimate from your phone before you start. The customer can approve and pay the deposit in under a minute.
How do deposits work?
Set a percentage on the estimate. When the customer approves, they're sent straight into Stripe Checkout to pay it. Funds go to your Stripe account.
Is there a contract?
Month-to-month, cancel anytime. Free plan covers 5 estimates per month forever.
