How to grow your payments app with cladding installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Cladding installers cover outside walls with timber boards, composite panels, fibre cement and other materials, on homes, extensions, garden rooms and business buildings. Most jobs start with a deposit so the installer can order boards, battens and fixings, with the rest paid when the cladding is up. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win cladding installers, and every customer that pays them sees your app.
Talk to cladding installers
Ask local cladding installers:
- Do you take a deposit before ordering materials?
- Do bigger jobs have stage payments?
- How do customers pay the rest when the job is done?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order boards and fixings.
Get paid when the cladding is up
The customer can pay the rest by card or link before the installer leaves, so there is no chasing for the final payment.
Grow through building trades
Cladding installers work alongside builders, roofers and garden room builders. When those businesses take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
