Chimney sweeps clean chimneys and flues, often before winter, and stove fitters install wood burners and stoves. Sweeps usually want paying at the end of each visit, while fitters need a deposit to order the stove. A payments app that sends a link or shows a QR code at the door can win these trades, and every homeowner who pays sees your app.

Get paid at the door
A QR code on the sweep's phone, or a link sent when the job is done, means payment before they drive to the next house.

Take stove deposits by link
A payment link sent with the quote lets the customer pay the deposit straight away, so the fitter can order the stove.
Grow through yearly visits
Sweeps see the same homes every year and work alongside builders and fitters. One sweep on your app can bring many customers to it.
