How to grow your payments app with jewellers and watch repairers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Small jewellers and watch repairers make custom pieces, resize rings and fix watches. They often take a deposit for custom work and the rest when the customer collects. A payments app that takes deposits by link and payments at the counter can win these shops, with less cash kept on the premises.
Talk to jewellers
Ask local jewellers and watch repairers:
- How do customers pay deposits for custom pieces today?
- How do customers pay when they collect a repair?
- How much cash do you keep in the shop, and how do you keep it safe?
- What would make paying quicker for your customers?
Take deposits for custom work
A payment link for the deposit confirms the order and helps the jeweller buy materials before starting.
Take payment at collection
A QR code at the counter lets customers pay the balance in seconds when they collect, with a receipt for their records.
Grow through the high street
Jewellers work near repair shops, florists and wedding suppliers. One jeweller on your app can bring you the shops around them.
