How to grow your payments app with mattress and bedding sellers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Mattress and bedding sellers range from big showrooms to small shops and market stalls selling foam mattresses, bed frames, sheets and blankets. A good mattress is a big purchase for many families, so sellers often take a deposit, hold the item, and collect the rest in parts or when it is delivered. Many also sell to hotels, guest houses and schools in bulk. A payments app that takes deposits and part payments, collects the balance on delivery and handles bulk orders can win these sellers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to mattress and bedding sellers
Ask local mattress and bedding sellers:
- Do customers pay in full, or put down a deposit and pay the rest later?
- How do customers pay when a mattress is delivered?
- Do hotels, guest houses or schools buy from you in bulk?
- Do customers ask to pay by phone instead of cash?
Take deposits and part payments
A deposit link to hold a mattress, and simple part payments after, let families spread the cost while the seller keeps a clear record of what is owed.
Get paid on delivery
Letting customers pay the balance by phone when the mattress arrives means the driver carries no cash and the sale is closed on the spot.
Grow through bulk buyers
Hotels, guest houses and schools buy many mattresses and sheets at once. One bulk buyer paying through your app brings a steady flow of payments.
