How to grow your payments app with kitchen and bathroom fitters
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Kitchen and bathroom fitters rip out old rooms and fit new units, worktops, tiles, showers and baths. Jobs can take days or weeks, materials are ordered up front, and fitters usually ask for a deposit and then payments at each stage. A payments app that sends a link for the deposit and for each stage can win these fitters, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to kitchen and bathroom fitters
Ask local fitters:
- How do customers pay you today?
- How much deposit do you take, and when?
- How do you ask for staged payments?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Take the deposit with the quote
A payment link sent with the quote covers the units and materials and books the job in.
Send a link at each stage
A link when the old room is out, another when the units are in and a final one when the job is signed off keeps money coming in as the work goes on.
Grow through trades who work together
Fitters work alongside plumbers, electricians, tilers and plasterers. One fitter on your app can bring the whole team to it.
