How to grow your payments app with window cleaners
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Window cleaners work a round of many homes, often while the customer is out. Collecting payment can mean coming back later, leaving notes or chasing people for small amounts. A payments app that sends each customer a link after the clean can get window cleaners paid on time, and every customer on the round sees your app.
Talk to window cleaners
Ask local window cleaners:
- How do customers pay you today?
- How often do you go back to a house just to collect payment?
- How much time a week do you spend chasing small amounts?
- What would make getting paid for each clean easier?
Send a link after each clean
A short message with a payment link after the clean lets the customer pay from their phone, even when they were out.
Keep track of the round
A simple list of who has paid and who has not saves the cleaner from keeping notes and knocking on doors.
Grow street by street
Neighbours talk. A window cleaner on your app shows it to every home on the round, and to the other cleaners and tradespeople they know.
