- 3See every payment as it happens
Plumbers and heating engineers fix leaks, answer emergency call-outs, service boilers every year and fit new boilers and bathrooms. Small jobs are best paid on the spot, bigger installations need a deposit for parts, and yearly services bring the same customers back. A payments app that sends a payment link when the job is done, takes deposits for parts and reminds customers of yearly services can win these trades, and every household that pays sees your app.

Get paid when the job is done
A payment link sent as the job finishes lets the customer pay there and then, so the engineer is not chasing invoices for weeks.

Take deposits for parts
A deposit link for a new boiler or bathroom covers the cost of parts before the engineer orders them.
Grow through the trade
Plumbers buy from the same merchants and work alongside electricians and builders. One engineer on your app can introduce the others.
