How to grow your payments app with gardeners and landscapers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Gardeners and landscapers often look after the same gardens week after week, and many customers are not home when the work is done. Chasing payment afterwards takes time and can be awkward. A simple way to send a payment link or set up regular payments can help them get paid on time.
Talk to a few gardeners
Ask gardeners and landscapers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- How many of your customers are regulars?
- How often do you have to chase a payment?
- How do you take a deposit for bigger jobs?
Make regular visits easy to pay
A payment link sent after each visit, or a regular payment set up once, means the gardener gets paid without knocking on doors.
Take deposits for bigger jobs
Landscaping jobs can take days and need materials up front. A deposit paid by link before the work starts protects the business.
Grow through word of mouth
Gardeners often get new customers from neighbours who see their work. Make it easy for a happy customer to share a link to book and pay.
