Painters + Stripe
The AI receptionist for painters that writes straight into Stripe.
You're on a ladder. The next big job is on the line.
How it works
Take a deposit on the call. Foan reads your Stripe products, generates a one-time payment link mid-conversation, and texts it to the caller before they hang up.
Why painters miss calls.
Whole-house jobs go to whoever quotes first.
A homeowner is selling their house and the agent told them to repaint everything cream. They have three weeks until listing. They're calling four painters for quotes.
You're on a ladder cutting in trim. Phone is in the truck. By the time you check messages, two competitors have quoted £4,000 and £6,000 and you've already missed the cheap-end customer.
That was £5,000 of work for two weeks of crew time.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into Stripe automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever Stripe expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £49/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for painters using Stripe?
Yes. Whole-house jobs go to whoever quotes first. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a painter would ask, and writes the outcome into your Stripe automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + Stripe compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £49/mo. Everything ends up in Stripe the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with Stripe?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect Stripe via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
