How to grow your payments app with garden centres and plant nurseries
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Garden centres and plant nurseries are busy in spring and quiet in winter. They sell at the counter, take orders for large plants and trees, and often deliver. A payments app that makes counter sales, orders and delivery payments simple can win these businesses, and every customer who pays them sees your app.
Talk to nursery owners and customers
Ask local garden centres, nurseries and their customers:
- How do customers pay at the counter and for deliveries today?
- How do you take payment for large orders or plants you grow to order?
- How do you handle the spring rush at the till?
- What would make paying easier for your customers?
Take deposits on big orders
A payment link for a deposit on trees, hedging or a large order confirms it, and the balance is paid on delivery or collection.
Get paid on delivery
The driver shares a QR code or link when dropping off, so the customer pays on the spot and gets a receipt at once.
Grow through gardeners
Nurseries sell to gardeners and landscapers every week. One nursery on your app can bring you the local gardening trade.
