Farrier Invoicing App (2026)
For a working farrier, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) matches the route — bill a whole barn on one invoice or each owner separately, keep trim and shoe prices in a saved catalog, and take card, cash, or Venmo at the barn with everything in one ledger.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Tools were judged on the farrier's real workflow — per-horse pricing billed to a barn or to individual owners, on-site payment, and a repeating six-to-eight-week cycle — not on multi-tech dispatch.

The farrier’s real workflow
Farrier work is route work on a six-to-eight-week clock. Eight horses at one barn, four owners, three payment preferences, and you’re back in six weeks to do it again.

Frequently asked questions
What does a farrier need from an invoicing app?
Saved per-horse pricing for trims, front shoes, full sets, and pads; the flexibility to bill a barn manager for eight horses or each owner separately; and on-site payment before you drive off. The six-week cycle handles scheduling on its own.
What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?
Quoting, invoicing, on-site card payment, and cash and Venmo in one tax-ready ledger. Recurring invoicing and automated reminders are Pro-plan features at $39/month.
How do I bill a barn with eight horses on different owners?
Either way works — one invoice to the barn manager listing each horse as a line item, or separate invoices per owner built from the same visit. Pick whichever the barn actually pays without arguing.
