Small cheesemakers and dairies make cheese, milk, butter, cream and yoghurt on the farm. They sell at farmers' markets and food fairs, from a farm shop or milk vending machine, online by post and wholesale to delis, cafés and restaurants. Christmas brings a rush of orders for whole cheeses and hampers, often paid in advance. A payments app that takes card payments at markets, sends payment links for online and Christmas orders and handles regular trade customers can win these producers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Send payment links for orders and trade customers
Payment links for online and Christmas orders, and regular links for delis and restaurants, get money in before the cheese goes out and cut down on chasing.
Grow through food producers and shops
Cheesemakers sell to delis and farm shops and share markets with other food producers. One cheesemaker on your app can bring the producers and shops around them.
