How to grow your payments app with roller shutter installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Roller shutter installers protect shops, garages, warehouses and homes with steel or aluminium shutters, often made to measure and motorised. New shutters usually need a deposit before they're ordered, with the rest paid on fitting, and repairs are often urgent call-outs when a shutter jams. A payments app that handles deposits, final payments and call-outs can win shutter installers, and every shop and business that pays them sees your app.
Talk to roller shutter installers
Ask local roller shutter installers:
- Do you take a deposit before ordering a shutter?
- How do customers pay the rest when it's fitted?
- How do customers pay for repair call-outs?
- How long do business customers take to pay?
Take a deposit when the order is placed
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order the made-to-measure shutter.
Get paid on the day for repairs
When a shutter jams and a shop can't open or close, the engineer can take payment by card or link before leaving, so there's no invoice to chase.
Grow through shops and trades
Shutter installers work with shopfitters, security installers and garage door firms, and most of their customers are shops that take payments every day. Each installer can bring more of those businesses onto your app.
