How to grow your payments app with mechanics and garages

- 3See every payment as it happens
A car repair can cost more than a customer carries in cash, and garages often buy parts before the job is paid for. Mobile mechanics work at the roadside or on a driveway, far from a card machine. A payments app that takes cards, deposits and payment links anywhere helps mechanics get paid, and every driver they serve sees your app.

Take deposits before ordering parts
Let the garage send a payment link for the parts deposit, so they are not out of pocket if a customer changes their mind.

Get paid anywhere
Mobile mechanics can take a card or send a payment link from their phone as soon as the job is done, with a receipt the customer keeps for the car's history.
Grow through the trade
Garages buy from parts suppliers, and mechanics know other mechanics. One happy garage can bring you its suppliers and the rest of the trade.
