How to grow your payments app with EV charger installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
EV charger installers fit chargers at homes, workplaces, car parks and small businesses as more drivers switch to electric cars. The charger is bought before the job, so most installers ask for a deposit and then the rest once it is fitted and tested. A payments app that takes the deposit when the quote is accepted and the balance on installation day can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to EV charger installers
Ask local installers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- Do you take a deposit for the charger?
- How long do you wait to be paid after fitting?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Take a deposit with the quote
A payment link sent with the quote covers the charger and books the fitting in.
Get paid on installation day
A QR code or link once the charger is tested lets the customer pay the balance on the spot.
Grow through businesses and car dealers
Installers often get work through car dealers, landlords and workplaces. One installer on your app can bring those partners to it.
