How to grow your payments app with caterers

- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Caterers cook for weddings, parties, funerals, offices and community events. They often buy food before the event, so a deposit matters, and the final payment can be slow to arrive. A payments app that takes deposits by link and makes the balance easy to pay can win caterers, and every client who pays them sees your app.

Take the deposit by link
A payment link for the deposit confirms the booking and gives the caterer money to buy food before the day.

Grow through events
