Case 1

50/50 Split — Both by Credit Card

“I want my business to look polished. Sending professional payment links makes a great impression. With HaulerBoss, I just send one for 50% to book the job, and another one at delivery for the rest. It all goes through credit card — easy for the client, clean for me.”

Scenario:

Transporter wants to offer a professional experience and avoid handling money in person.

How it works:

  • Transporter sends 50% link via HaulerBoss at booking.

  • Client pays with credit card.

  • Second 50% payment collected via HaulerBoss link at delivery.

Case 2

Partial Prepay, Balance by Zelle

“I don’t want to get stiffed, so I ask for 25% up front. But I also hate credit card fees on big amounts. With HaulerBoss, I just run the 25% through their system to lock in the job. Then I let the customer pay the rest with Zelle when I deliver. No extra fees, and I’m still protected up front.”

Scenario:

Transporter wants some commitment up front, but prefers to avoid high credit card fees.

How it works:

  • Transporter sends 25% payment link via HaulerBoss.
  • Client pays with credit card.
  • Transporter collects remaining 75% via Zelle at drop-off.

Case 3

$1 Credit Card Minimum, Rest in Cash

“I’ve always run my hauls cash-only. I don’t like the delays or fees with card payments. But HaulerBoss requires at least something on the books. So I just send a $1 link to check the box. I still get most of the payment in cash when I show up.”

Scenario:

Transporter only wants to deal in cash, but still wants to use HaulerBoss for all the other great features.

How it works:

  • Transporter sends $1 payment link via HaulerBoss.

  • Client pays with credit card.

  • Remaining payment collected in cash.

Case 4

$20 to Confirm, Balance via Venmo or other

“When I’m first communicating with a new client, I don’t want to be seen as unprofessional, or worse…  I send a $20 first payment link through HaulerBoss. Once they pay, I lock the trip on my calendar. After that, if they want to send the balance by Venmo or something else, I can work with that.”

Scenario:

Transporter wants to appear professional and trustworthy to new clients, while still using their preferred payment method for the balance.

How it works:

  • Transporter sends $20 HaulerBoss payment link (credit card).

  • Client pays securely through the system.

  • Transporter confirms the booking and collects the remaining balance by any method.

Case 5

100% Prepaid via HaulerBoss

“I don’t want to deal with chasing money or worrying about no-shows. If they pay me everything before I roll, I know they’re serious. HaulerBoss lets me send a payment link through their system, and the client can pay securely with a credit card. It’s all handled. I don’t need to figure out my own credit card system. I just use my Square account connected to HaulerBoss.”

Scenario:

Transporter wants full payment upfront to reduce risk.

How it works:

  • Transporter sends one HaulerBoss payment link for 100% of the job.

  • Client pays with credit card via Square.

  • No further action needed.

HaulerBoss FAQs: Why a Square Account Is Required

Why do I need a Square account to use HaulerBoss?
Every hauler on HaulerBoss must connect a Square account. Square verifies identity, links to a real bank account, and ensures PCI-compliant payment processing. This requirement creates a baseline of professionalism and protects both haulers and clients from scams.
HaulerBoss requires at least $1 per haul to be processed through Square. This small verified payment confirms the booking in our system and establishes a trusted financial connection.
No. You can still collect the bulk of your payment however you prefer—cash, Zelle, Venmo, check, or other methods. The only requirement is that at least $1 per haul runs through Square to ensure verification.

The horse transport industry has long struggled with fraud. By requiring a $1 verified Square transaction per haul, HaulerBoss ensures:

  • Identity verification (every hauler is real, not anonymous)
  • Bank connection (reduces scams from fake accounts)
  • PCI compliance (no sensitive card data ever handled directly)
  • Trust signal for clients (even if most of the haul is cash or Zelle)

HaulerBoss lets you decide how much runs through Square beyond the $1 minimum. Examples:

  • Case 1: 50/50 Split via Square

  • Case 2: 25% via Square, 75% via Zelle

  • Case 3: $1 via Square, balance in cash

  • Case 4: $20 via Square to confirm, balance by Venmo or other

  • Case 5: 100% prepaid via Square

  • Credibility: Square account proves legitimacy to clients.

  • Professional tools: Payment links and invoices, no “just Venmo me.”

  • Flexibility: Beyond the $1 minimum, you choose how the rest is paid.

  • Protection: Verified bookings reduce no-shows and scam risk.

  • Peace of mind: Knowing every hauler on HaulerBoss has a verified Square account reduces the risk of scams.

  • Security: Payments made through Square are encrypted, PCI-compliant, and backed by fraud monitoring.

  • Flexibility: Clients can pay deposits by card for convenience, then use cash, Zelle, or other methods for the balance if agreed with the hauler.

  • Professional experience: Receiving official payment links and receipts builds confidence that they’re working with a legitimate, reliable transporter.
