French polishers bring wooden furniture back to life. They strip and repair old finishes, fix scratches, water marks and heat rings, and build up a deep shine by hand on tables, chests, pianos and wooden panelling. Some work in a workshop and some on site in homes, offices and hotels. Bigger jobs often start with a deposit, with the rest paid when the piece is collected or the work is done. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win French polishers, and every customer that pays them sees your app.

Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the polisher can book the work in.

Get paid when the piece is done
The customer can pay the rest by card or link on collection or before the polisher leaves, so there is no chasing for the final payment.
Grow through furniture trades
French polishers work alongside upholsterers, furniture makers and antique dealers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each polisher can bring more of them onto it.
