Intentionally Simple
Everything you need. Less of what you do not.
Many business platforms grow into scheduling, dispatch, payroll, inventory, CRM, accounting, fleet management, and dozens of other systems. OwnTrade stays focused on the core document workflow most small contractors touch every day.

Professional invoices & payments

How It Works
Write it once. Move it forward.
The workflow follows how small contractors already think about paperwork: customer, scope, price, terms, invoice, and payment tracking.
- 1Create the estimate with customer, scope, terms, line items, taxes, and totals.
- 2Turn the approved scope into a contract with customer e-signatures and deposit collection.
- 3Convert completed work to an invoice, accept online card payments, and track balances.
Focused By Design
Why pay for and learn a giant system if you do not need one?
If you need a platform to manage every part of a larger company, OwnTrade is probably not trying to replace it. If you want the everyday paperwork to be clear, professional, and quick to move forward, that focus is the point.

FAQ
Straight answers before you start.
Who is OwnTrade built for?
OwnTrade is built for solo contractors and very small trade businesses that need clean estimates, contracts, invoices, customer records, electronic signatures, and online payments without adopting a heavy all-in-one field-service platform.
How does the document workflow work?
OwnTrade is designed around moving the same job paperwork forward: create an estimate, convert it to a contract with e-signatures and deposit schedules, and convert completed work into an invoice with online payments—without retyping customer or line-item details.
Can customers sign contracts electronically?
Yes. You can send customers a secure online link to review and electronically sign contracts directly from their phone or computer. Both you and the customer receive permanent PDF audit records.
Can customers pay invoices and deposits online?
Yes. You can accept online card payments for contract deposits and invoice balances through Stripe Connect. Payments deposit directly into your bank account. Stripe processing fees and a 0.1% OwnTrade platform fee ($1 per $1,000 processed) apply. You can also record offline manual payments (cash, check, Zelle, bank transfer) at any time.
Are there fees for accepting online payments?
Yes. Stripe deducts its applicable payment-processing fees from your payment proceeds. OwnTrade charges an additional 0.1% OwnTrade platform fee ($1 per $1,000 processed). Your customer pays only the amount you request.
View Stripe processing ratesAre payment receipts automatically generated?
Yes. When an online or manual payment is recorded, OwnTrade generates an automatic, downloadable payment receipt PDF tied to the invoice or contract deposit with updated remaining balances.
Can I add my company branding and logo?
Yes. OwnTrade supports custom business details, company logo, contact information, default tax rates, custom numbering prefixes, and reusable terms for estimates, contracts, and invoices.
Can I reuse customer and job-site information?
Yes. Customer records, phone numbers, emails, multiple job-site locations, and document history are saved so you never have to re-enter information for repeat customers or projects.
Can I export documents as clean PDFs?
Yes. You can download and print high-quality PDF copies of estimates, contracts, change orders, invoices, and payment receipts with customizable layout styles and colors.
Is OwnTrade a full accounting platform?
No. OwnTrade is intentionally focused on estimates, contracts, e-signatures, change orders, invoices, online payments, and customer tracking. It is built to be simpler and faster than complex accounting or field-service management software.
What is the free trial and post-trial pricing?
OwnTrade includes a 30-day free trial with full access. Lock in Founder Pricing at $9.99/month (standard price $14/month) or $99/year (standard price $140/year) for as long as your subscription remains active.
