How to grow your payments app with glaziers and window fitters
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Glaziers and window fitters repair broken glass, fit new windows, doors and conservatories, and board up after break-ins. New windows are made to measure, so most fitters take a deposit before ordering, then the rest when the job is done. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote and takes the balance on the day can win these firms, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to glaziers
Ask local glaziers and window fitters:
- How do customers pay you today?
- How do you take deposits for made-to-measure windows?
- How do you get paid for emergency call-outs?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Take deposits by link
A payment link sent with the quote lets the customer pay the deposit straight away, so frames can be ordered.
Get paid on the day
A QR code or link when the last window is fitted, or after an emergency repair, means payment before the fitter leaves.
Grow through other trades
Glaziers work alongside builders, roofers and locksmiths. One fitter on your app can bring others to it.
