How to grow your payments app with irrigation and water tank installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Irrigation and water tank installers fit drip lines, sprinklers, pumps and rainwater tanks for small farms, market gardens, homes and businesses. Most jobs need a deposit so the installer can buy pipes, tanks and pumps, then a balance when the system is working, and many farmers prefer to pay after harvest or in parts. Installers also sell spare parts and servicing. A payments app that sends links for deposits and balances, lets customers pay in parts and handles servicing can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to irrigation and water tank installers
Ask local irrigation and water tank installers:
- How do customers pay the deposit for parts, and how long do balances take?
- Do farmers ask to pay in parts or after harvest?
- Do you sell spare parts or servicing, and how are they paid?
- Do you work with farm groups, co-operatives or suppliers?
Send payment links for deposits and balances
A payment link for the deposit lets the installer buy parts straight away, and a link for the balance when the water flows means no chasing money.
Let customers pay in parts
Splitting a larger job into several payments, with a clear record of what is left, makes a new system affordable for small farms and households.
Grow through farms and suppliers
Installers work alongside farm suppliers, co-operatives and garden centres. One installer on your app can bring the businesses and customers around it.
