Hi Emma, here is your quote for home repairs. Total $627.00 incl. GST. You can review and accept it online.

Built for the trades

More than quotes and invoices.

After the quote

The rest of the job, sorted.

Wattlebase keeps going once the customer says yes, from booking the work to getting paid.

Every invoice can carry a Pay now button. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and the money lands in your bank.

Jobs and reminders

Book the job, set up repeat visits and let Wattlebase remind the customer the day before you arrive.

Bring your team

Invite office staff and workers. Assign jobs and give field workers their own view without the prices.

Xero and BAS ready

Send invoices and payments to Xero automatically, or pull a GST report for any BAS quarter.

Useful workflow guidance

Quoting small jobs without losing money

Small jobs are easy to underquote. A simple structure keeps every job worth your time.

  1. 01
    Always include a call-out or minimum charge

    Cover travel and set-up time, even on a five-minute fix.

  2. 02
    List each task separately

    Rehang a door, patch a wall, replace a tap: separate lines avoid arguments later.

  3. 03
    Add materials at a fair margin

    Include the parts you supply and allow for your time buying them.

  4. 04
    State when the price is valid

    A short validity period protects you if material prices change.

  5. 05
    Get approval in writing

    An online acceptance with a signature beats a text message saying “go ahead”.

A better customer experience

Look professional on every job

Your logo, ABN and payment details appear on every quote and invoice, so even a small job gets a proper document.

Wattlebase is for quoting and invoicing. Licensing rules for some work, such as electrical, plumbing and gas, still apply.

Common questions

What small businesses ask

Can I charge a call-out fee?

Yes. Save it as an item and add it to any quote in one tap.

Can I invoice straight after the job?

Yes. Convert the accepted quote into an invoice and record the payment.

Do I need to be registered for GST?

Only if your business must register. You can turn GST on or off in your settings.

Is it hard to set up?

No. Add your business name and details, and you can send your first quote the same day.

Can my customers pay by card?

Yes. Connect your own Stripe account and invoices and deposits get a Pay now button for card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The money goes to your bank, the invoice marks itself paid, and Wattlebase takes no cut.

Can my staff use it too?

Yes. The Team plan is $39 AUD a month for up to 5 people. Invite staff with Owner, Office or Field access and assign jobs to them; field workers see their jobs without the prices.

Is there a Wattlebase app for my phone?

Yes. There’s nothing to download from an app store. Open wattlebase.com.au on your phone and add it to your home screen in two taps, and it opens full screen like any other app.

What if there’s no phone signal on site?

Keep working. Quotes and customers you create with no signal are saved on your phone and upload automatically when you’re back in range. Sending and PDFs wait until you’re online.
