How to grow your payments app with blind and curtain fitters
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Blind and curtain fitters visit a home to measure, order made-to-measure blinds, shutters or curtains, then come back weeks later to fit them. They usually take a deposit to cover the order and the balance on fitting day. A payments app that takes the deposit on the spot and the balance by card or link once the job is done can win these fitters, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take the balance on fitting day
Taking the balance by card as the last blind goes up, or by a link sent the same day, means no chasing and no cheques.
Grow through designers and trades
Fitters work alongside interior designers, decorators and upholsterers. One fitter on your app can introduce the others they work with.
