How to grow your payments app with plasterers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Plasterers skim walls and ceilings, render outside walls and patch up after electricians and plumbers. Many are self-employed, work for homeowners, landlords and builders, and are paid at the end of the job or by the day, often in cash or by a transfer that arrives late. A payments app that sends a link the moment the job is done can win these plasterers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to plasterers
Ask local plasterers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- Do you take a deposit for bigger jobs?
- How long do builders take to pay you?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Get paid when the job is done
A QR code or link at the end of the job lets homeowners pay on the spot, before the plasterer packs up.
Take deposits for bigger jobs
A link for a deposit on rendering or a whole house skim covers materials and books the job in.
Grow through builders and trades
Plasterers work alongside builders, electricians and decorators. One plasterer on your app can bring the rest of the team to it.
