Car breakers and salvage yards buy cars that are old, written off or no longer worth fixing, then take them apart and sell the parts. Their customers are drivers looking for a cheap part, mechanics who need something today and people across the country who order by phone or online. They also pay owners for the cars they collect. A payments app that pays owners quickly, takes payment for parts at the counter or by link, and makes orders easy to pay for can win these yards, and every driver and garage who pays sees your app.

Pay owners quickly
Paying the owner to their phone or account when the car is collected closes the deal on the spot and keeps a record of the purchase.

Sell parts by link
Sending a payment link when a part is found means it is paid before it is posted, with no card details read out over the phone.
Grow through garages
Garages buy used parts from breakers week after week. When they pay through your app, they see how it could work for their own customers.
