How to grow your payments app with dog groomers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Dog groomers wash, clip and trim dogs in salons or from mobile vans, and most customers come back every few weeks. Missed appointments cost groomers money, and mobile groomers need to get paid before they drive off. A payments app that takes deposits by link and payment at collection can win these groomers, and every dog owner who pays sees your app.
Talk to groomers
Ask local dog groomers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- How often do customers miss appointments?
- Do you take deposits for new customers?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Take deposits by link
A small deposit paid by link when the appointment is booked cuts no-shows.
Get paid at collection
A QR code at the counter or on the van means the owner pays in seconds when they collect their dog.
Grow through repeat visits
Dog owners come back every few weeks and talk to other owners at the park. One groomer on your app can bring many owners to it.
