How to grow your payments app with wedding suppliers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Wedding suppliers usually take a deposit to hold the date, then one or more payments before the big day. Keeping track of who has paid what, and chasing the rest, takes time they would rather spend on the work.
Ask how they take bookings
Talk to a few wedding suppliers and ask:
- How much deposit do you take to hold a date?
- Do couples pay the rest in one go or in parts?
- How do you remind couples when a payment is due?
- Do guests or family members ever pay part of the bill?
Hold the date with a deposit
A deposit link sent with the booking means the date is held once it is paid. The supplier does not turn away other couples for a booking that never pays.
Make later payments easy
A clear request for each payment, sent before it is due, helps couples plan and saves the supplier from awkward reminders.
Grow through wedding fairs and word of mouth
Wedding suppliers recommend each other to couples all the time. A few who like your app can introduce you to the photographers, florists and venues they work with.
