How to grow your payments app with nail and beauty technicians

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Nail and beauty technicians often work alone, from a small studio, a rented chair in a salon or clients' homes. A missed appointment is lost income, and many ask for a deposit to hold a booking. A payments app that takes deposits by link and payment at the end of the appointment can win these technicians, and every client who pays sees your app.

Grow through clients and salons

Clients recommend their technician to friends, and technicians who rent chairs share salons with others. One technician on your app can bring you many more.
