How to grow your payments app with clothing boutiques

- 3See every payment as it happens
Independent clothing boutiques sell women's, men's and children's fashion, shoes and accessories. Many sell as much through Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp as in the shop, holding items for customers who message to say they want them. They run late-night shopping, pop-ups and seasonal sales. A payments app that takes card and phone payments in store, sends payment links for social media orders and deposits for held items can win these boutiques, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take payments in store and at pop-ups
Card and phone payments at the till and at pop-up events make it easy for customers to buy the full outfit, not only one piece.

Send payment links for social media orders and held items
A payment link sent straight after a message turns a social media comment into a sale, and a deposit on a held item stops stock sitting unsold.
Grow through local shops and stylists
Boutiques work with personal stylists and neighbouring shops on events and late-night shopping. One boutique on your app can bring the businesses around it.
