How to grow your payments app with security and CCTV installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Security and CCTV installers fit cameras, alarms, smart locks and gates for homes, shops and offices. Most jobs need a deposit for equipment, a final payment when the work is done and sometimes a monthly fee for monitoring or servicing. A payments app that handles all three by link can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to installers
Ask local security and CCTV installers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- How do you take deposits for equipment?
- Do you charge a monthly fee for monitoring or servicing?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Take deposits by link
A payment link sent with the quote lets the customer pay the deposit straight away, so the installer can order equipment.
Collect monthly fees simply
Customers on a monitoring or service plan can pay by the same link each month, saving the installer from chasing them.
Grow through homes and shops
Installers work in many homes and shops, and alongside electricians and builders. One installer on your app can bring it to all of them.
