"The Check is in the Mail" (And other lies)

In 2026, if you are still asking clients to bring a check to the inspection, or Venmo you cash, you are losing business.Modern homebuyers are millennials and Gen Z. They expect to book, sign, and pay on their phone, instantly.

But you shouldn't have to pay for expensive, proprietary "inspection payment processors" that hold your money for days.

Why We Partnered with Square

We made a controversial choice a few years ago. We decided not to build our own payment processor.Instead, we integrated deeply with Square.

Why? Because Square is the best in the world at what they do.

The "Specialist" Workflow

Here is how professional your business looks with the SwiftReporter + Square stack:

1. The Booking: Client books online. Square captures the appointment.
2. The Automation: SwiftReporter sees the booking and instantly sends the Pre-Inspection Agreement.
3. The Lock: The client cannot view the report until they sign the agreement and pay the invoice.
4. The Payout: You get your money fast. No "inspection software" middleman taking a cut or holding funds.

Trust Signals Matter

When a client sees a Square invoice, they trust it. It’s a brand they know. It makes your one-person operation look like a structured, secure enterprise.

Don't Pay for Bloat

Competitors charge you $99/month for "built-in scheduling and payments."SwiftReporter charges you $39/month (or per report), and Square charges their standard transaction fee.

You get better software, faster payments, and lower overhead.
