Most shop software stops at the invoice.
Your shop system was built for US shops, so Canadian tax is something you set up yourself and then double-check every time.
Invoices get typed again into accounting software, or exported and cleaned up. Either way, someone touches the same numbers twice.
At month end, someone spends a day making the two systems agree. The GST return gets rebuilt from reports that never quite match.
One repair order, start to finish.
Write the estimate.
Add the job, parts and labour. Tax is worked out line by line, with GST and PST separated from the start.
Turn it into an invoice.
One click when the work is done. Parts come out of inventory. The invoice is ready to hand to the customer.
The books update themselves.
Revenue, tax owing and parts cost are recorded as the invoice is created. Nothing is entered a second time.
Match the deposit.
When the payment reaches your bank, Liftpad lines it up with the invoice and posts the card fee.
A $565.60 brake job becomes $25.25 of GST and $35.35 of PST in your books without anyone entering it.
Everything the front counter and the back office need.
One system. No sync between the shop side and the accounts side.

Built for Canada
Canadian tax, handled from the first invoice.
Liftpad knows which lines carry GST and which carry PST, shows them separately on the invoice, and keeps a running total of what you have collected and what you can claim back. When it is time to remit, the numbers are already there.
Available in British Columbia, with more provinces to follow.
