How to grow your payments app with painters and decorators

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

Painters and decorators paint, wallpaper and finish homes, offices, shops and rental properties. Many take a deposit for paint and materials, and larger jobs are paid in stages. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote and takes the final payment when the job is done can win these trades, and every customer who pays sees your app.
