How to grow your payments app with self-storage businesses

- 3See every payment as it happens
Self-storage businesses rent out rooms, lockers and shipping containers to people moving home, small businesses keeping stock and students between terms. Customers usually pay a deposit and then rent every week or month, and late payments take time to chase. A payments app that sends a regular link for rent can win these businesses, and every renter who pays sees your app.

Send rent links on time
A payment link sent before rent is due makes it easy for renters to pay on time, and saves staff chasing them.

Take deposits at booking
A link sent when a unit is booked means the deposit and first rent are paid before move-in day.
Grow through moves
People who rent storage are often moving home or running a small business, and they work with removal firms, landlords and letting agents. One storage business on your app puts it in front of all of them.
