How to grow your payments app with fishing tackle shops
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Fishing tackle shops open early, sell bait and tackle to anglers on their way to the water, and often sell day tickets or club memberships for local lakes and rivers. Many payments are small, and some anglers phone ahead to order bait. A payments app that takes quick payments at the counter, and lets anglers pay ahead for bait or a day ticket by link, can win these shops, and every angler who pays sees your app.
Talk to tackle shops
Ask local tackle shops:
- How do anglers pay you today?
- Do anglers phone ahead to order bait?
- Do you sell day tickets or club memberships?
- How busy are you first thing in the morning?
Keep early mornings moving
Fast tap or phone payments for bait and small tackle keep the queue short when anglers want to get to the water.
Let anglers pay ahead
A payment link for a bait order or a day ticket lets anglers pay the night before and just collect in the morning.
Grow through angling clubs
Tackle shops know the local clubs, fisheries and match organisers. One shop on your app can introduce clubs that collect memberships and match fees.
