How to grow your payments app with awning and canopy installers

- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Awning and canopy installers fit retractable awnings, fixed canopies and shade sails over patios, shop fronts, cafe terraces and pub gardens. Most are made to measure, so the installer takes a deposit before ordering, with the rest paid on fitting day. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win awning and canopy installers, and every home and business that pays them sees your app.

Take a deposit when the order is placed
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order the awning or canopy.

Get paid on fitting day
The customer can pay the rest by card or link once the awning is up, so the installer isn't chasing the final payment.
Grow through home and shop trades
Awning and canopy installers work alongside blind fitters, decking installers and sign makers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
