Google reviews for painters who bill in QuickBooks

Short answer: How can a painting contractor get more Google reviews from QuickBooks? InvoiceStars emails each customer a Google review request when their QuickBooks Online invoice is paid in full, 2 days later by default (adjustable 0 to 30 days). Each customer is asked at most once in 90 days, and ap@ and billing@ inboxes are skipped.

Painting jobs usually run on a deposit and a final invoice after the walkthrough. The final payment is the moment the customer has signed off on the work.

How InvoiceStars handles it

The request is sent when an invoice reaches a $0 balance, so a final invoice paid after the walkthrough is a natural trigger.
The 90-day cooldown stops a second request if the deposit and final invoice both close within 90 days.
Approval mode lets you skip the deposit-stage request if you want.
The send delay defaults to 2 days and can be set from 0 to 30 days.
