Zero effort
What TradeTime does
Every feature solves a real problem you've felt.
Pay Now Button
The problem: Customers forget to pay. Bank transfers require them to log in, find your IBAN, create a payee. Most leave it for tomorrow.
The outcome: One tap. Customer pays by card on their phone. You get paid next day. No chasing, no awkward calls.
On-Site Quote Builder
The problem: Slow quotes lose jobs. The first tradesperson to send a professional quote with clear pricing wins, every time.
The outcome: Build and send a branded quote from your phone before you leave the customer's house. Takes under 2 minutes.
Automatic Reminders
The problem: You feel uncomfortable chasing customers. So you don't. Invoices go unpaid for 60, 90 days.
The outcome: Day 7, 14, 21 reminders go out automatically. Professional, firm, and you never have to send a single one.
Profit Per Job
The problem: You don't really know which jobs make money. You quote by feel. Some jobs lose money and you only find out months later.
The outcome: See the real margin on every job the moment it closes. Know which customers, job types, and days are most profitable.
The maths: what TradeTime is actually worth
You do 40 jobs a year. Average job value: €2,500.
Right now, you wait an average of 45 days to be paid.
With TradeTime's Pay Now button, you get paid in 3 days.
That's €2,500 sitting in someone else's bank account for 42 fewer days. Per job.
Across 40 jobs: that's €100,000 in annual revenue that circulates through your business 42 days faster.
The mileage tracker alone logs an average of 30,000km/year for a busy tradesperson. At €0.18/km, that's €5,400 in tax deductions. Most forget to claim it.
TradeTime Pro costs €588/year.
The ROI isn't a percentage. It's a multiple. Most TradeTime customers get back more than 20x what they spend.

"I used to spend Sunday evenings writing invoices. Now I send them from the driveway before I drive away. I got paid on Tuesday for a job I did on Monday."
Darren
Electrician, Cork
"The SEAI form used to take me the best part of an hour. TradeTime fills it in from my job notes. I just check it and upload. That's it."
Aisling
Retrofit Contractor, Dublin
"I didn't realise I was leaving €4,000 a year on the table in mileage deductions. The tracker just runs in the background. It's free money I was ignoring."

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know anything about software to use this?
No. If you can send a WhatsApp, you can use TradeTime. The quote builder takes under 5 minutes to learn. Most customers send their first invoice on the day they sign up.
What payment methods can my customers use?
Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and SEPA bank transfer. The Pay Now button handles all of it. Your customer taps, pays, and you get a notification. Funds arrive in your bank account the next business day.
How much does Stripe charge?
Stripe charges a processing fee on card payments (currently 1.4% + €0.25 for European cards, 2.9% + €0.25 for non-European). This is separate from your TradeTime subscription. You can pass this fee to your customer or absorb it — your choice.
Does it work in the UK as well as Ireland?
Yes. TradeTime supports Irish VAT rates (23%, 13.5%, 0%) and UK VAT (20%, 5%, 0%). UK tradespeople get the full core platform. The RetrofitSync SEAI features are Ireland-specific.
I already use Xero/QuickBooks. Will TradeTime replace it?
Not entirely, and we don't try to. TradeTime is your on-site tool — for quoting, invoicing, getting paid, and tracking jobs in the field. Xero and QuickBooks are accounting tools. The two work together. TradeTime exports to formats your accountant can use.
Is my data safe?
TradeTime uses Supabase for data storage, hosted on EU infrastructure (Ireland/EU region). Your data never leaves the EU. We are GDPR compliant and do not sell your data to third parties.
