How to grow your payments app with tyre fitters
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Tyre fitters work from depots and, more and more, from mobile vans that come to a customer's home, workplace or the roadside. Tyres are often ordered in first, and the fitter needs paying when the job is done, wherever that is. A payments app that takes a deposit when tyres are ordered and a quick payment by link or phone at the kerb can win these fitters, and every driver who pays sees your app.
Talk to tyre fitters
Ask local fitters:
- How do drivers pay you today?
- Do you take a deposit when you order tyres in?
- How often do you work away from the depot?
- Do you work for any local businesses with vans?
Take a deposit for ordered tyres
A deposit link when tyres are ordered in stops the fitter being left with tyres nobody collects.
Get paid at the kerb
A payment link or phone payment when the job is done means mobile fitters leave the job already paid, without cash to carry.
Grow through the motor trade
Tyre fitters work alongside garages, car washes, used car dealers and breakdown firms. One fitter on your app can introduce the others.
