How to grow your payments app with tilers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Tilers fit wall and floor tiles in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and shops, working for homeowners, builders and fitters. Many ask for a deposit so tiles, adhesive and grout can be bought before the job, and bigger jobs may be paid in stages. A payments app that takes deposits, sends a link for the final payment when the job is done and handles stage payments can win these trades, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to tilers
Ask local tilers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- Do you take a deposit for tiles and materials?
- How long do you wait for the final payment?
- Do you work for builders and fitters as well as homeowners?
Take deposits for materials
A deposit link covers tiles, adhesive and grout before the tiler buys them, so the job can start on time.
Get paid when the job is done
A payment link sent as the last tile is grouted lets the customer pay there and then, so the tiler is not chasing money.
Grow through the trade
Tilers work alongside kitchen and bathroom fitters, plumbers and flooring fitters. One tiler on your app can introduce the others.
