How to grow your payments app with wedding planners
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Wedding planners work with a couple for months, sometimes more than a year, charging a booking fee, payments in stages and a final balance before the day. They also chase and coordinate payments to venues, caterers, florists and photographers. A payments app that sends a link for each stage and keeps every payment in one place can win these planners, and every couple and supplier who pays sees your app.
Talk to wedding planners
Ask local planners:
- How do couples pay your fees today?
- How many stages do you bill in?
- Do parents or family pay part of the fee?
- How do you keep track of supplier deposits?
Send a link for each stage
A payment link for the booking fee, each stage and the final balance lets the couple, or whoever is paying, settle up from anywhere.
Let family pay their share
Parents and grandparents often pay part of a wedding. Separate links let each person pay their share without the couple collecting it first.
Grow through wedding suppliers
Planners recommend venues, photographers, florists and caterers to every couple. One planner on your app can bring a whole network of suppliers.
