- 3The order lands with you
Corner shops and small grocers serve the same neighbourhood every day. They take many small payments, handle a lot of cash and often let regulars pay later. A payments app that makes small payments quick at the counter and helps regulars settle their tab can win these shops, and their customers see your app every day.

Take small payments by QR code
A QR code by the till lets customers pay in seconds, even for a small amount, with less cash to count at the end of the day.

Help regulars settle their tab
A payment link lets a regular pay what they owe from their phone, so the shopkeeper spends less time chasing money.
Grow street by street
Corner shops sit next to market traders, phone shops and cafes. One shop on your app can bring you the rest of the street.
