How to grow your payments app with piano tuners and instrument repairers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Piano tuners visit homes, schools, churches and venues, often on a regular schedule, while instrument repairers fix guitars, violins and wind instruments in small workshops. Many are paid by cheque or invoice days after the job. A payments app that takes a card at the end of a tuning or sends a link when a repair is ready can win these specialists, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to tuners and repairers
Ask local specialists:
- How do customers pay you today?
- Do schools and venues pay by invoice?
- Do you take deposits for bigger repairs?
- How long do you wait to be paid?
Take payment after each tuning
Taking a card or sending a link as the tuner packs up means no cheques and no invoices to chase for home customers.
Send a link when a repair is ready
For workshop repairs, a deposit for parts and a link when the instrument is ready lets the customer pay before collection.
Grow through music teachers and shops
Tuners and repairers are recommended by music teachers, schools and shops. One specialist on your app can introduce the teachers they work with.
