Payment Solutions for Building Supplies, Plant Hire & Waste Services



Secure payments, faster cash flow and simplified reconciliation across site, depot and office.


Builders’ merchants, plant hire firms, skip companies, storage providers and renewable installers handle a wide range of transactions — deposits, staged payments, supplier invoices and on-site collections. Slow payments, fraud risk and manual reconciliation reduce margins and slow operations.


SOTpay provides a PCI DSS compliant, multichannel payment platform that reduces risk, accelerates settlement and simplifies reconciliation across your supply chain.

Take deposits, hire payments and balances securely from site, depot or office. Send payment links or accept Open Banking transfers without requiring card terminals.


Reduce Fraud & Chargebacks

Hosted payment pages and 3-D Secure authentication remove card data from your systems and shift liability away from your business.


Cut Costs with Open Banking & Direct Debit

Offer bank payments for large invoices and Direct Debit for recurring contracts, reducing card fees and improving payment reliability.


Multichannel, Mobile-First Collections
