How to grow your payments app with home stagers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Home stagers dress homes for sale or rent so they look their best in photos and viewings. Many charge a fee for the consultation and design, then a fee to deliver and set up furniture, and a monthly hire fee for as long as the home is on the market. Clients are homeowners, landlords, developers and estate agents, and payments can drag on when a sale takes longer than planned. A payments app that sends deposit links, collects monthly hire on time and gives clean records can win these stagers, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to home stagers
Ask local home stagers:
- How do clients pay the design and set-up fee today?
- How do you collect monthly hire while a home is on the market?
- What happens when a sale takes longer than planned?
- How do estate agents and developers pay you?
Take fees and deposits by link
A deposit link when the job is booked and a balance link on set-up day means the stager is paid before the furniture goes in.
Collect monthly hire on time
A payment link each month, or a regular payment the client sets up once, keeps hire fees coming in until the furniture is collected.
Grow through property
Home stagers know estate agents, removal firms, interior designers and cleaners. One stager on your app can introduce the others.
