How to grow your payments app with cider makers

Small cider makers press apples from their own or local orchards and sell bottles, cans and bag-in-box to the public at markets, festivals and the farm gate. Many also supply pubs, shops and restaurants on trade terms, and some run orchard tours and tastings. That means card payments on a busy stall, invoices to trade buyers and bookings for tours, often managed by one or two people. A payments app that handles all three can win these cider makers, and every buyer who pays sees your app.

Take card payments at markets
Taking card and phone payments on the stall helps cider makers sell more at busy festivals, where many buyers carry no cash.

Send payment links to trade buyers
A payment link on each trade invoice helps pubs and shops pay on time, so the maker is not chasing money through the quiet months.
Grow through drinks makers
Cider makers share markets and festivals with brewers, distillers and winemakers. One maker on your app can bring the stalls next to them.
