Heating oil suppliers deliver oil by tanker to homes, farms and businesses in rural areas that are not on the gas grid. Prices change often, so many customers order and pay when the price suits them, and some spread the cost over the year with a monthly budget plan. A payments app that handles orders, prepayments and regular plans can win heating oil suppliers, and every household and business that buys from them sees your app.

Take payment when the order is placed
A link sent with the order confirmation lets the customer pay at the quoted price straight away, so the delivery can go on the next round.

Spread the cost with a monthly plan
Customers on a budget plan can pay the same amount each month, so they are not hit with one big bill in winter and the supplier gets steady income.
Grow through rural trades
Heating oil suppliers serve the same rural homes and farms as heating engineers, stove fitters and sweeps. When those businesses take payments through your app, each supplier can bring more of them onto it.
