How to start a payments app for wedding suppliers, venues and planners
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Photographers, florists, caterers, venues and planners usually take a deposit, one or more staged payments and a final balance, often months apart. A payments app built for them, under your own brand, can handle each step with links and invoices, and you can offer it to suppliers across a region or wedding network.
What wedding suppliers need
- A payment link to take the booking deposit.
- Staged invoices with clear due dates.
- A final balance invoice before the big day.
- An account that shows what each couple has paid so far.
Who could launch it
A wedding venue group, a supplier directory or association, a large planning business or an entrepreneur who knows the wedding trade.
How to get your first users
Start with suppliers who already work together at the same venues. When couples see the same simple way to pay across several suppliers, word spreads quickly.
