How to grow your payments app with cleaners
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Many cleaners have regular clients and are paid in cash left on the side, by bank transfer when the client remembers, or at the end of the month. A simple way to request and track payment for each visit can make a real difference to their week.
Ask how they get paid today
Talk to a few cleaners and ask:
- How do your clients pay you now?
- How often are you paid late or have to ask twice?
- Do you clean for the same people every week?
- How do you keep track of who has paid?
Send a request after each visit
A payment link sent when the job is done lets the client pay in a moment, even when they are not at home. The cleaner can see straight away who has paid.
Make regular clients easy
Most cleaning work repeats every week or fortnight. Saving each client's details so a request can be sent in seconds saves the cleaner time on every visit.
Grow by word of mouth
Cleaners often find work through recommendations and know other cleaners. One who is paid on time through your app will tell others about it.
