Milestone payments. Built for the tools.
Get the job done. Get paid fairly. No invoice chase.
TradeFlo+ holds the money for the whole job upfront, then releases it milestone by milestone — only when the work's approved. Tradies stop chasing. Homeowners stop worrying.

How it works
Four steps. No mystery.
- 1
Quote
Tradie builds the quote, breaks the job into milestones, sends it. Homeowner reviews on their phone.
- 2
Fund
Full-job upfront funding is confirmed before work starts, then TradeFlo+ tracks milestone releases after approval and dispute-window checks. Payment processing is handled through Stripe when card payment is required. Work can start after the funded state is confirmed.
- 3
Release
Each milestone gets submitted with photos. Homeowner approves. Funds land in the tradie's account.
- 4
Resolve
If something's off, raise it within 48 hours. Evidence in, timeline runs, decision made.
What you get
Three things every job needs.
Money held the right way
The accepted job is funded before a tool comes out of the ute. Tradies start work with funding confirmed. Homeowners only release what's been approved.
- Full-job funding upfront
- Payment processing through Stripe when card payment is required
- Audit log on every cent
Approve work, not invoices
Milestones replace the invoice ritual. The tradie submits photos and notes. The homeowner taps approve. The money moves. No chase, no PDF attachments, no awkward texts at 9pm.
- Up to 20 milestones per job
- Photo and note evidence on every submission
- Auto-release if approval is overdue
Disputes with a clock on them
If something isn't right, you've got 48 hours to raise it. Evidence goes in. We run a structured review. Most disputes settle in days, not the 14 months VCAT can take.
- 48-hour dispute window
- Evidence-based, not he-said-she-said
- BPC and VCAT remain available as a backstop
Built for both sides
Tradies and homeowners get the same source of truth.
For tradies
Quote, get funded, do the work, get paid. No 60-day terms. No 'mate I'll sort it next week'.
