How to grow your payments app with appliance repair engineers

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Appliance repair engineers fix washing machines, fridges, ovens and dishwashers in people's homes. Many charge a call-out fee, then order parts and come back to finish the job, and some also work for landlords and letting agents. The call-out fee needs paying when the visit is booked, parts often need paying before they are ordered and the balance needs paying when the job is done. A payments app that sends a link for each step and takes card payments at the door can win these engineers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take the call-out fee when the visit is booked

A payment link sent when the visit is booked means fewer wasted trips when no one is home.

Get paid for parts before ordering

A payment link for the parts means the engineer isn't out of pocket if the customer changes their mind.
