How to grow your payments app with handymen
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Handymen fix doors, hang shelves, put up curtain rails, build flat-pack furniture and do the small jobs other trades turn down. Most jobs are small and quick, so many handymen are paid in cash, and landlords often pay late. A payments app that takes payment by link or QR code when the job is done can win these handymen, and every customer who pays sees your app.
