How to grow your payments app with water softener installers

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

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.

Get paid on the day of the installation

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.
