How to grow your payments app with pest control businesses
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Pest control technicians are called out to homes, shops, restaurants and rented flats, and a job often needs several visits. Customers may want to pay on the day, while landlords and businesses expect an invoice. A payments app that takes payment on the spot and sends invoice links can win these firms, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to pest control firms
Ask local pest control businesses:
- How do customers pay you after a visit today?
- How do you charge for follow-up visits?
- How long do landlords and businesses take to pay invoices?
- What would make getting paid for each job easier?
Take payment on the day
A QR code or payment link lets a home customer pay before the technician leaves, with no cash or card reader needed.
Send invoice links to businesses
For restaurants, shops and landlords, an invoice with a payment link gets the money in faster than a bank transfer request.
Grow through landlords and trades
Pest control firms work with letting agents, landlords and cleaners. One firm on your app can introduce you to the people they work with.
