Run your business by text. Prio is a conversation. Text what you want, the way you’d text a person — “send Dana Friday’s invoice” — and Prio handles it: getting paid, the schedule, the books, the hours, the follow-up on what’s late. No forms, nothing to learn, and no money moves until you say so. Getting paid - Request, send, and collect payment right in the conversation — custom invoices and shareable payment links included. - Set two prices, a bank price and a card price. Both are shown upfront; the client picks. - Bank to bank, between verified parties, into your own account. No wallet, no held balance. - Late invoice? Say the word and Prio resends and reminds — the awkward message is never yours to write. The rest of the job - Recurring invoices go out on the schedule you set. A client who turns on autopay is charged on time, on an authorization captured up front. - Clients book a slot from your public link, and reschedule or cancel by replying to their booking reminder. - QuickBooks connects read-only, right in the chat. Turn on sync and each Prio invoice mirrors into the books. Ask for a report and it arrives in the conversation. - Hours are tracked in the same thread the money lives in. How money is handled - A person approves every business before it can collect here. - Every payment previews and waits for your OK. Autopay charges only on an authorization the payer gave up front. - Bank transfers: $1 + 1%, the 1% capped at $5, on payments under $2,000. Cards: $1 + 3%. No monthly fee. Your network pays you - Pay a vendor who’s new to Prio and, when they join, they’re in your network. The payment is the referral — no code, nothing to sell to a friend. - Opt in to Cash Money and Prio pays you a flat, published thank-you on each qualifying invoice a vendor in your network gets paid — monthly, for as long as they’re active, out of Prio’s own fee. Never added to anyone’s price. Not points. Income. Every paid invoice can give - Sponsor a church or nonprofit, and every paid invoice your business receives sends it $1 — paid by Prio, straight to its bank, monthly. No cost to you, your client, or the church. - A church joins in one conversation, changes nothing, and only ever receives. Setup takes about five minutes. More arrives without more hours — that was the whole point. Do Less. Earn More. Give More.
