How to grow your payments app with bakeries and patisseries

- 3See every payment as it happens
Bakeries and patisseries sell bread, pastries and cakes over the counter, often in a busy morning rush, and take orders for birthday and wedding cakes, office trays and wholesale deliveries to cafés. Small counter sales need to be quick, special orders need a deposit, and trade customers may pay later. A payments app that takes fast counter payments, deposits for special orders and invoices for trade customers can win these bakeries, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits for special orders
A deposit link for a birthday or wedding cake means the baker is paid for ingredients before starting, and fewer orders go uncollected.
