How to grow your payments app with butchers and fishmongers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Butchers and fishmongers serve regular customers who come back every week, and they get very busy before holidays and festivals, when people order ahead. A payments app that speeds up the counter and makes pre-orders easy to pay can win these shops, and their loyal regulars will see your app every week.
Talk to shop owners and regulars
Ask local butchers, fishmongers and their customers:
- How do customers pay at the counter today?
- How do you take orders before holidays and festivals?
- How often do people order and then not collect?
- What would make paying quicker at the counter?
Take pre-orders with payment
A payment link for holiday and festival orders means the order is paid when it is placed, so fewer orders are left uncollected and collection is quick.
Speed up the counter
A QR code on the counter lets customers pay in seconds with their phone, which matters when there is a queue out of the door.
Grow through regulars
Regular customers talk to each other in the queue. A shop that tells its regulars about your app can bring you a steady stream of new users.
