How to grow your payments app with aquarium and tropical fish shops

Aquarium and tropical fish shops sell fish, plants, tanks, filters, lights and food, and many also design, set up and look after tanks for homes, offices, dentists and restaurants. Big tank set-ups need a deposit before equipment is ordered, and maintenance visits are paid every week or month. A payments app that takes quick payments at the counter, sends a deposit link with a set-up quote and collects maintenance payments on time can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits for set-ups
A payment link sent with the quote means the shop can order a large tank and equipment without paying for it themselves.
