How to grow your payments app with web designers and developers

- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Freelance web designers, developers and small web agencies build websites and online shops for local businesses, charities and start-ups, often for clients in other towns or countries. Most take a deposit before starting, bill again at each stage of the project and then charge a monthly fee for hosting, updates and support. Chasing the final payment after a site goes live is a common headache. A payments app that sends a deposit link, stage invoices with a pay button and a regular monthly charge can win these designers, and every client who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and stage payments by link
A deposit link sent with the proposal and an invoice with a pay button at each stage keep the project and the money moving together.

Design and preview your whole platform free, then launch when you are ready.
Turn support into regular income
A monthly charge for hosting and updates means the designer is not sending the same small invoice every month.
Grow through the businesses they build for
Designers work with shops, trades, photographers and coaches who also need to get paid. One designer on your app can introduce many of their clients.
