How to grow your payments app with air conditioning installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Air conditioning installers fit split units, portable systems and larger set-ups for homes, offices, shops and restaurants. Most jobs start with a survey and a quote, then a deposit to order the equipment and the balance when it is fitted. Many customers also want a yearly service. Busy periods come in hot weather, when installers have little time to chase payments. A payments app that sends a link for the deposit and the balance, takes a card payment on the day and collects regular service plan payments can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to installers
Ask local air conditioning installers:
- How do customers pay you today, and how often do you chase payments?
- Do you take a deposit before ordering equipment?
- Do you offer yearly service visits or service plans?
- How busy do you get in hot weather?
Take deposits and balances by link
A payment link for the deposit means the installer can order equipment straight away, and a second link for the balance gets them paid on the day the job is done.
Collect service plan payments
Regular payments for a yearly service plan give installers steady income and bring customers back each year.
Grow through the trades
Air conditioning installers often work with electricians, heating engineers and shopfitters. One installer on your app can bring the trades they work with.
