How to grow your payments app with aluminium window and door fabricators
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
In many growing towns, new homes, shops and offices are fitted with aluminium windows, sliding doors and glass shopfronts made in small local workshops. The fabricator measures up, takes a deposit to buy aluminium profiles, glass and fittings, makes the frames and then fits them on site, with the balance paid on fitting. Much of this is still paid in cash or by bank transfer that is hard to match to a job. A payments app that takes deposits by link, lets clients pay stage by stage and lets workshops pay suppliers and fitters can win these firms, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to aluminium fabricators
Ask local aluminium window and door fabricators:
- How do clients pay the deposit and the balance today?
- How often does a client delay paying once the frames are made?
- Do builders or contractors order from you again and again?
- How do you pay for profiles, glass and your fitters?
Take the deposit when the order is confirmed
Sending a payment link for the deposit once the quote is agreed means the workshop can buy materials straight away and knows the order is real.
Get paid on fitting
Letting clients pay the balance by phone as soon as the windows or doors are fitted means the team leaves the site paid, not chasing money later.
Grow through builders and contractors
Builders and contractors order windows and doors for project after project. When they pay through your app each time, it becomes part of how they work, and their clients see it too.
