How to grow your payments app with furniture makers and carpenters

Furniture makers and carpenters often build to order. They need a deposit to buy wood and materials, then the rest when the piece is delivered or fitted. A payments app that makes deposits and final payments clear and safe can win these workshops, and every customer who orders from them sees your app.

Take deposits with the order written down
A payment link for the deposit, with the piece, the size and the price written clearly, gives the maker and the customer the same record from day one.

Get paid on delivery
When the piece is delivered or fitted, the customer pays the balance by link or QR code and gets a receipt at once.
Grow through the workshop
Makers buy from timber yards and hardware shops, and work alongside builders and fitters. One workshop on your app can bring you others in the local trade.
