How to grow your payments app with flooring fitters
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Flooring fitters lay carpet, wood, laminate, vinyl and tiles in homes, rentals, shops and offices. Many are self-employed, order materials before the job and ask for a deposit, then wait for the rest when the floor is down. A payments app that takes the deposit when the quote is accepted and the balance when the job is finished can win these fitters, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to flooring fitters
Ask local flooring fitters:
- How do customers pay you today?
- Do you take a deposit for materials?
- How often 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 materials and books the job in.
Get paid when the floor is down
A QR code or link at the end of the job lets customers pay the balance on the spot.
Grow through landlords and builders
Fitters work again and again for landlords, builders and shops. One fitter on your app can bring their regular customers to it.
