How to grow your payments app with candle and soap makers

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Candle and soap makers sell at markets and craft fairs, take orders through social media and small online shops, and supply gift shops, salons and hotels with wholesale orders. Some also run candle or soap making workshops. Stall sales need quick card payments, social media orders need a simple payment link and wholesale customers need invoices they can pay easily. A payments app that does all of this can win these makers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take card payments at the stall

Many market shoppers no longer carry cash, so a quick tap to pay at the stall means fewer lost sales.
