How to grow your payments app with hair and beauty supply shops

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

A shop that takes payments
  1. Customers pick what they want
  2. They pay by card at checkout
  3. The order lands with you

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.

Take quick payments at the counter

Letting shoppers pay by phone or card at the counter keeps the queue moving on busy weekend mornings.
