How to grow your payments app with bike shops and repairers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Bike shops and mobile bike repairers fix bikes, sell parts and serve riders from commuters to delivery riders. Customers often drop a bike off and pay when they collect, or the repairer comes to them. A payments app that sends a link when the repair is done and takes QR payments in the shop can win these businesses, and every rider who pays sees your app.
Talk to bike shops
Ask local bike shops and repairers:
- How do customers pay you today?
- Do customers pay when they collect, or up front?
- Do you do mobile repairs, and how are you paid for them?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Send a link when the bike is ready
A message saying the bike is ready, with a payment link, lets the rider pay before they arrive and collect quickly.
Take payment on the road
Mobile repairers can show a QR code on their phone and get paid on the spot, with no card reader needed.
Grow through riders
Riders talk to each other at clubs, on group rides and at delivery hubs. One shop on your app can bring you many riders.
