How to grow your payments app with underfloor heating installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Underfloor heating installers fit electric mats and water-based pipe systems under floors in homes, extensions, offices and shops. Bigger jobs often start with a design fee and a deposit so the installer can order pipes, manifolds and controls, with the rest paid when the system is running. A payments app that handles design fees, deposits and final payments can win underfloor heating installers, and every customer that pays them sees your app.
Talk to underfloor heating installers
Ask local underfloor heating installers:
- Do you charge a design fee before quoting?
- Do you take a deposit before ordering materials?
- How do customers pay the rest when the system is running?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order pipes, mats and controls.
Get paid when the heating is on
The customer can pay the rest by card or link once the system is tested, so the installer isn't chasing the final payment.
Grow through building trades
Underfloor heating installers work alongside plumbers, flooring fitters and heat pump installers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
