How to grow your payments app with sash window restorers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Sash window restorers look after the sliding sash windows found in older homes. They free stuck sashes, replace cords and rotten timber, fit draught proofing and slim double glazing, and make new sashes to match the old ones. Most jobs start with a deposit so the restorer can book the work and order timber and glass, with the rest paid when the windows are done. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win sash window restorers, and every homeowner that pays them sees your app.
Talk to sash window restorers
Ask local sash window restorers:
- Do you take a deposit before starting?
- How do customers pay the rest when the job is done?
- Do you charge for a survey or quote visit?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the restorer can order timber and glass.
Get paid when the windows are done
The customer can pay the rest by card or link before the restorer leaves, so there is no chasing for the final payment.
Grow through period home trades
Sash window restorers work alongside glaziers, carpenters and painters and decorators. When those businesses take payments through your app, each restorer can bring more of them onto it.
