How to grow your payments app with phone and tablet repair shops

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

A shop that takes payments
  1. Customers pick what they want
  2. They pay by card at checkout
  3. The order lands with you

Phone and tablet repair shops replace cracked screens, worn batteries and broken charging ports, many while the customer waits. They also sell cases, chargers and second-hand phones, and some offer collection and mail-in repairs. A payments app that takes payment the moment a repair is done, takes a deposit for parts that must be ordered and sends a link for mail-in repairs can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits for ordered parts

A deposit link covers the cost of a screen or part that has to be ordered, so the shop is not left with parts nobody collects.

Get paid for mail-in repairs

A payment link sent when a mail-in repair is finished lets the customer pay before the phone is posted back.

Grow through tech repairers

Phone repair shops sit alongside computer technicians and electronics sellers, and customers often need more than one. One shop on your app can introduce the others.
