Yardbook autopay automation for lawn care businesses
Add autopay to Yardbook—without replacing it.
Yardbook stores your invoices and saved cards. LawnBills fills the monthly autopay gap by generating and delivering invoices, applying customer credits, charging eligible cards on file through Yardbook, and reporting every result.
Built by a Yardbook user who needed monthly autopay. Independent software, built around the same billing work you do.

Your logins stay on your PC
The Windows helper uses your Yardbook login and your Gmail address and app password for reports. Usernames stay in local files; saved passwords are encrypted by Windows for your Windows account. Your Yardbook password and Gmail app password are never sent to LawnBills’ servers.
How security works →Customer payments stay in Yardbook
LawnBills charges eligible saved cards through Yardbook’s payment system. Your invoices and payment history stay there. MFA, CAPTCHA, or other security checks pause unattended billing until you respond.
Clear answers, without the sales call.
Does Yardbook have autopay?+
Yardbook can store customer cards and process payments, but the monthly workflow still requires you to generate and deliver invoices, check credits, and initiate eligible card-on-file charges. LawnBills fills that automation gap while keeping every charge and payment record inside Yardbook.
Does LawnBills replace Yardbook?+
No. Yardbook remains your source of truth for customers, jobs, invoices, and payments. LawnBills automates the repetitive monthly billing steps inside your existing account.
Does LawnBills charge customer cards directly?+
No. Saved-card payments are processed through Yardbook so the invoice and payment history stay reconciled there.
What happens when a customer has a credit?+
LawnBills checks for available credits and applies them before attempting any card charge.
What if a customer has no email address?+
LawnBills opens the individual invoice delivery flow and sends the invoice by text when a valid mobile number is available.
What Yardbook features do I need?+
During setup, we guide you through requesting Select Multiple Invoices and Display Apply Credit Button on Invoice List View from Yardbook support if they are not already enabled.
Does my computer need to stay awake?+
A sleeping Windows computer can wake for billing, and a missed task can start after the computer wakes later in the same billing month. LawnBills prevents sleep while billing is active. A powered-off computer cannot run billing; after a longer outage, review the missing period before starting anything manually.
What computers does LawnBills support?+
The launch version supports Windows 10 and Windows 11. A Mac version is not currently offered.
What email setup is required?+
The Windows helper asks for a monitored Gmail address and a Google app password during its one-time installation. The address stays in a current-user local file and Windows protects the app password with DPAPI. The helper sends an owner-only test email before production is approved. Your Gmail app password is never sent to LawnBills servers.
Where are my Yardbook and email logins stored?+
The Windows helper uses both your Yardbook login and your Gmail address and app password. Usernames stay in local files restricted to your Windows account, and saved passwords are encrypted using Windows DPAPI. The helper uses them locally to sign in to Yardbook and send reports through Gmail; your Yardbook password and Gmail app password are never sent to LawnBills servers. The helper uses your saved Yardbook browser session first, with the saved password as a fallback. CAPTCHA, MFA, SSO, and other security checks still need your attention and pause unattended billing.
How are desktop helper updates installed?+
Before every scheduled or dashboard-started run, LawnBills checks for a newer helper. Install a new signed Windows setup from LawnBills when an update is required. Automatic code replacement remains off, and billing stops before any action until the required version is installed.
How do I cancel?+
Sign in, open Subscription, and choose Manage or cancel subscription. Cancellation stops the next renewal. Your access continues through the end of the period you already paid for, then the server disables every Yardbook billing action.
What is the refund policy?+
A customer may request one refund within 7 days of their first LawnBills purchase. Requesting it immediately ends LawnBills access, stops scheduled automation, and cancels the subscription. The allowance can be used only once; future purchases and renewals are non-refundable.
