The card fee problem for electrical contractors
A panel upgrade runs $2,500–$8,000. A whole-home rewire is $10,000–$30,000. EV charger installs average $1,200–$2,500. These are significant jobs — and every time a customer pays by card, a slice of your quoted price disappears in processing fees before the money reaches you. On a $6,500 panel job, that's $189 gone before you unload the truck.
Most electrician invoicing software doesn't address this. It processes the payment and lets the fee quietly subtract from your deposit. KoPay is built differently. KoPay automatically calculates the card processing fee and adds it to every invoice as a clear, disclosed line item. Customers see it before they pay. You collect your full quoted amount every time.
For electrical contractors running 4 jobs per week at an average of $900, that's roughly $187,200 per year in revenue. At 65% card payments, you're processing $121,680 in card transactions. Standard fees run about $3,531 per year. With KoPay, that amount goes to customers — not your processor — from the first invoice you send.
KoPay also handles the full quote-to-cash workflow: line-item estimates with digital signatures, one-click estimate-to-invoice conversion, Stripe-powered payment links, and organized customer and job history. Everything an electrical contractor needs to run a clean billing operation from the field.

The real math
A residential electrical contractor billing $350,000 per year — a mix of service calls, panel upgrades, and remodel work. The average job value is $850. About 65% of customers pay by card. That's $227,500 in card transactions annually.
At standard Stripe rates (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction), the annual processing cost is roughly $6,597 — absorbed silently every year without KoPay.
With KoPay, that $6,597 shifts to customer invoices as a transparent line item. Over three years, that's $19,791 recovered. Over five years, more than $32,985 — real money that most electricians never think about because the loss is invisible, deducted before they even check their bank account.
The fix takes minutes to set up and applies to every invoice you send from that point forward. One setting change. Every job from here on pays what it was quoted.
