How to grow your payments app with water softener installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Water softener installers fit systems that reduce limescale in homes and businesses in hard water areas, and many also fit drinking water filters. After the installation, customers need salt, replacement filters and a service every year or so. That means one larger payment at the start and many small ones after it, which are easy to forget to collect. A payments app that handles installation payments, salt deliveries and service plans can win water softener installers, and every customer who pays them sees your app.
Talk to water softener installers
Ask local water softener installers:
- How do customers pay for an installation?
- How do customers pay for salt deliveries?
- How do customers pay for filters and services?
- How often do small payments go uncollected?
Get paid on the day of the installation
A link sent when the installation is finished lets the customer pay before the installer leaves, with no invoice to chase.
Make regular top-ups easy
A link sent with each salt delivery or filter reminder turns small repeat sales into payments in a few taps.
Grow through home water trades
Water softener installers work alongside plumbers, heating engineers and kitchen fitters in the same homes. When those trades take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
