- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Shopfitters turn empty units into working shops, cafes, salons and offices, fitting counters, shelving, partitions, displays and lighting. Most jobs start with a deposit for materials, with staged payments as the work goes on and the rest at handover. A payments app that handles deposits and stage payments can win shopfitters, and every business owner who pays them sees your app.

Take a deposit when the job is agreed
A link sent with the quote lets the client pay a deposit straight away, so the shopfitter can order materials and book the work.

Send a link for each stage
Each stage, from first fix to handover, can have its own link, so the shopfitter isn't waiting weeks for a bank transfer before moving on.
Grow through the businesses they fit out
Shopfitters work with sign makers, electricians and carpenters, and every shop, cafe or salon they fit out needs to take payments once it opens. Each shopfitter can bring more of those businesses onto your app.
