How to grow your payments app with coffee roasters

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Small coffee roasters buy green beans, roast in small batches and sell bags of coffee online, by monthly subscription, at markets and food fairs, and wholesale to cafés, restaurants and offices. Some run cupping sessions and home-brewing classes too. A payments app that takes card payments at markets, sends payment links for subscriptions and online orders and handles regular trade customers can win these roasters, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take card payments at markets and the roastery

Taking card and phone payments at markets and the roastery door helps roasters sell more bags and equipment, not only a single coffee.
