How to grow your payments app with removal firms
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Small removal firms and man-and-van services often book jobs by phone or message, take a deposit to hold the slot, and are paid the rest on the day. When a customer cancels late or cannot pay on the spot, the firm loses out.
Ask how they get paid
Talk to a few removal firms and ask:
- Do you take a deposit to book a slot?
- How often do customers cancel at the last minute?
- How do customers pay you on moving day?
- Do letting agents or businesses ever pay for moves?
Book the slot with a deposit
A deposit link sent with the quote means the slot is booked once it is paid. Late cancellations cost the firm less.
Get paid before the van leaves
A payment link or QR code on moving day lets the customer pay the balance in seconds, even in the middle of a busy move.
Grow through local partners
Removal firms work with letting agents, estate agents and storage businesses. Those partners can point more firms to your app.
