How to grow your payments app with abattoirs and meat processors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Abattoirs and small meat processors sit in the middle of the local meat trade. Farmers and livestock traders bring animals and pay a fee to have them slaughtered, while butchers, restaurants and market sellers buy carcasses and cuts, often early in the morning and often in cash. Processors also pay farmers for animals and pay workers and transporters. A payments app that takes fees quickly, sends payment links for regular meat orders and lets processors pay farmers can win these businesses, and every farmer and butcher who pays or gets paid sees your app.
Talk to abattoirs and meat processors
Ask local abattoirs and meat processors:
- How do farmers and traders pay slaughter fees today?
- How do butchers and restaurants pay for the meat they buy from you?
- How do you pay farmers when you buy animals?
- How much cash is handled before sunrise on a busy day?
Take fees and sales by phone
Letting farmers and butchers pay by phone means less cash on site in the early hours and a clear record of every payment.
Make regular meat orders simple
A payment link for standing orders from butchers, hotels and restaurants gets money in before the meat leaves the cold room.
Grow through farmers and butchers
One processor deals with many farmers on one side and many butchers on the other. When the processor pays and gets paid through your app, both sides see it working.
