How to grow your payments app with garden lighting installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Garden lighting installers light up gardens, paths, patios, driveways, trees and water features, for homes and for pubs, restaurants and hotels with outdoor space. They plan the layout, run cables safely and fit lights and controls. Most jobs start with a deposit so the installer can order fittings, with the rest paid when the lights are working. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win garden lighting installers, and every customer that pays them sees your app.
Talk to garden lighting installers
Ask local garden lighting installers:
- Do you take a deposit before ordering fittings?
- How do customers pay the rest when the lights are on?
- Do you charge for a design visit?
- How long do business customers take to pay?
Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order lights, cable and controls.
Get paid when the lights are on
The customer can pay the rest by card or link once everything is working, so the installer isn't chasing the final payment.
Grow through garden and outdoor trades
Garden lighting installers work alongside landscapers, electricians and decking installers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
