How to grow your payments app with videographers and video editors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Videographers and video editors film weddings, events, adverts, music videos and short clips for social media, and many freelance editors work remotely for clients anywhere. Most take a deposit to hold a date, charge the balance before handing over the finished video and bill extra for rush jobs or extra edits. Chasing the balance after the event is a common worry. A payments app that sends a deposit link when a date is booked and a final payment link before delivery can win these video makers, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to videographers
Ask local videographers and video editors:
- How do clients pay a deposit to book a date today?
- How do they pay the balance before you deliver the video?
- How do you charge for extra edits or rush jobs?
- Do you edit for clients in other countries, and how do they pay?
Book dates with a deposit link
A deposit link sent with the booking confirmation holds the date and cuts down on no-shows.
Get paid before delivery
A payment link for the balance, sent with a preview of the finished video, means the client pays before downloading the full version.
Grow through events and creatives
Videographers work with wedding planners, photographers, DJs and venues. One video maker on your app can introduce the others.
