I ask for doornumber +postcode or abbreviation of housename+postcode.  It ensures they are unique references.
Trouble is that Abbey do not display the references on the faster payments system so I am moving my banking elsewhere.

Is payment made through paypal? if not how?

On my windows cleaned tickets I have a unique reference number,.. starting with the number of tickets I've given out today & then the date. eg. the 3rd job tomorrow will be ticket number 03211209. I keep a record of all ticket numbers I give out and ask customers to use that ticket number when making online payments. Simples!

If its online banking ,give them your bank details on your call slip.. tell them to use house number and postcode as a reference....., along with an addressed envelope, for those who prefer cheques....and explain this on your call slip.

and at the bottom i simply add " please pay within 3 days."

works a treat.
