How to grow your payments app with bridal and formalwear shops
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
- 1Customers pick what they want
- 2They pay by card at checkout
- 3The order lands with you
Bridal shops and formalwear hire businesses take a deposit when a dress or suit is ordered, then the balance months later at the final fitting. Parents, grandparents or friends often chip in, and hire shops also hold a returnable deposit. A payments app that handles deposits, balances and split payments can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take the deposit on the day
A deposit paid by link or card at the first appointment secures the order before the shop spends money with the supplier.

Send the balance before the fitting
A link for the balance, sent a week before the final fitting, lets the customer or their family pay from anywhere, so collection day is simple.
Grow through wedding suppliers
Bridal shops know the photographers, florists and makeup artists their customers book. One shop on your app can bring the rest of the wedding.
