Independent health food shops sell wholefoods, free-from products, vitamins, supplements and natural toiletries. Many customers are regulars who come back every few weeks for the same items, and some ask the shop to order products in or put them aside. Small shops watch card fees closely and often keep loyalty stamps on paper. A payments app that takes tap to pay at the counter, sends payment links for special orders and rewards regulars can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take special orders by link
A payment link when a customer asks for a product to be ordered in means the shop is not left holding stock nobody collects.
Grow through local wellbeing
Health food shops know nutritionists, refill shops and farm shops. One shop on your app can introduce the others.
