How to grow your payments app with hair and beauty supply shops
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Hair and beauty supply shops sell hair extensions, wigs, braiding hair, relaxers, oils, tools and salon products. Some customers are shoppers buying for themselves, but many are salons, barbers and stylists who restock every week. Trade customers often order by message and want delivery, and some expect to pay later. A payments app that takes quick payments at the counter, sends links for trade orders and deliveries and keeps track of what each salon owes can win these shops, and every salon they supply sees your app.
Talk to hair and beauty supply shops
Ask local hair and beauty supply shops:
- How much of your trade comes from salons and stylists, and how do they pay?
- Do customers order by message and ask for delivery?
- Do you let any salons pay later, and how do you keep track?
- How do you pay the wholesalers and importers who supply your stock?
Take quick payments at the counter
Letting shoppers pay by phone or card at the counter keeps the queue moving on busy weekend mornings.
Send links for trade orders
A payment link for each salon's order, paid before it leaves the shop or on delivery, means less chasing and a clear record of who owes what.
Grow through salons and stylists
One supply shop serves dozens of local salons, barbers and stylists. When they pay the shop through your app, each of them sees it working for their own business.
