How to grow your payments app with egg sellers and smallholders

Smallholders keep hens, ducks, pigs, sheep and bees and grow veg on a few acres. Many sell eggs, meat boxes, veg and plants from a roadside stall or the farm gate, often through an honesty box that customers pay in cash. Others sell at farmers' markets or deliver to regular customers, and some take orders for meat boxes or Christmas birds with a deposit. A payments app with a QR code for the honesty box, card payments at markets and payment links for orders and deposits can win these growers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Replace the honesty box
A QR code on the stall lets customers pay by phone when they have no cash, so the smallholder sells more and keeps less cash out on the road.
