How to grow your payments app with roofers and scaffolders

- 3See every payment as it happens
Roofers repair and replace roofs, gutters and chimneys, and scaffolders put up the access they need. Bigger jobs usually need a deposit for materials and payments in stages, while smaller repairs are paid when the work is done. A payments app that sends deposit and stage links and takes payment on the day can win these trades, and every homeowner who pays sees your app.
