How to grow your payments app with ceiling and partition installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Ceiling and partition installers divide up and finish commercial spaces: suspended ceilings in offices and shops, stud walls for new rooms, and glass partitions for meeting rooms. Small jobs are paid on completion, while bigger fit-outs usually start with a deposit and move through stage payments. A payments app that handles deposits and stage payments can win these installers, and every business owner who pays them sees your app.
Talk to ceiling and partition installers
Ask local ceiling and partition installers:
- Do you take a deposit before ordering materials?
- Do bigger jobs have stage payments?
- Do you work for main contractors or direct for businesses?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the job is agreed
A link sent with the quote lets the client pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order ceiling grids, boards and glass.
Send a link for each stage
On bigger fit-outs, each stage can have its own link, so the installer isn't waiting weeks for a bank transfer before moving on.
Grow through fit-out trades
Ceiling and partition installers work alongside shopfitters, electricians and plasterers, and every business they fit out needs to take payments. Each installer can bring more of those businesses onto your app.
