How to grow your payments app with upholsterers

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Upholsterers re-cover and repair sofas, chairs, headboards and car seats. Most jobs need a deposit so the upholsterer can order fabric, then the rest is paid when the piece is collected or delivered. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote and takes the final payment on delivery can win these workshops, and every customer who pays sees your app.
