How to grow your payments app with computer and IT technicians
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Computer and IT technicians fix laptops, remove viruses, set up Wi-Fi and look after the computers of small shops and offices. Some charge per job or call-out, others a monthly support fee, and many chase unpaid invoices. A payments app that sends a link when the job is done and a regular link for monthly plans can win these technicians, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to technicians
Ask local computer and IT technicians:
- How do clients pay you today?
- Do you charge per job, per hour or monthly?
- How often do you chase unpaid invoices?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Get paid when the job is done
A payment link sent as soon as a repair or call-out is finished means the technician is paid before they leave.
Keep monthly plans simple
Small offices on a support plan can pay by the same link each month, which saves the technician chasing them.
Grow through small businesses
Technicians look after many shops and offices, and each one takes payments of its own. One technician who likes your app can recommend it to all of them.
