How to grow your payments app with fencing and decking installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Fencing and decking installers put up fences, gates, decks, sheds and garden rooms for homeowners, landlords and businesses. Timber and fixings are bought before the job, so most ask for a deposit and then the rest when the work is finished. A payments app that takes the deposit when the quote is accepted and the balance on the last day can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to fencing and decking installers
Ask local installers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- Do you take a deposit for timber and materials?
- How long do you wait to be paid after a job?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Take a deposit with the quote
A payment link sent with the quote covers the timber and books the job in.
Get paid on the last day
A QR code or link when the job is finished lets customers pay the balance on the spot.
Grow through neighbours
A new fence or deck is seen by the whole street. Every customer who pays through your app can point neighbours to the installer and to your app.
