How to grow your payments app with stonemasons and memorial makers

- 3See every payment as it happens
Stonemasons and memorial makers carve headstones, add new inscriptions to existing memorials and restore old stonework on homes and churches. Most work starts with a deposit, and the balance is due when the stone is finished and fitted, often weeks later. The cost is often shared by family members who live far apart. A payments app that takes a deposit by link, lets each family member pay their share and takes the final balance on fitting can win these masons, and every family who pays sees your app.

Take a deposit before work starts
A deposit link covers the stone and the mason's time before carving begins, and the balance is paid when it is fitted.

Let families share the cost
A payment link each family member can use means relatives far away can pay their share without one person chasing the others.
Grow through funeral directors
Masons work closely with funeral directors and churches, who often recommend them to families. One mason on your app can introduce the others.
