How to grow your payments app with aerial and satellite installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Aerial and satellite installers fit and repair TV aerials and satellite dishes, add extra TV points around the home and mount TVs on walls. Most jobs are finished in a few hours and paid on the day, often by cash or a bank transfer the installer has to check later. Landlords and letting agents also book them for flats and rented homes. A payments app that lets installers take tap to pay or send a payment link before they leave, and invoice landlords for several jobs at once, can win these businesses, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to aerial and satellite installers
Ask local aerial and satellite installers:
- How do customers pay at the end of a job today?
- How often do you wait for a transfer to arrive?
- How do landlords and letting agents pay you?
- What do you pay in card and bank fees?
Get paid before leaving the job
Tap to pay on the installer's phone or a payment link sent at the door means the money is in before the van pulls away.
Make landlord work simple
One link or invoice covering several flats makes it easy for landlords and letting agents to pay, and keeps them coming back.
Grow through home services
Installers know electricians, security installers and TV and phone shops. One installer on your app can introduce the others.
