How to grow your payments app with local internet and wifi providers

In many towns and estates, internet comes from small local providers and wifi resellers rather than the big telecom companies. They install connections in homes, shops and offices, sell daily or weekly wifi vouchers, and chase monthly payments, often by visiting customers or waiting for bank transfers. Late payments mean switching people off and on again. A payments app that sends a monthly payment link, sells vouchers by phone and takes installation fees on the spot can win these providers, and every customer who pays for their connection sees your app.

Sell vouchers by phone

Letting customers buy a daily or weekly wifi voucher by phone means no one has to find a seller with change.

Grow through every connection

A local provider may serve hundreds of homes and shops. When each of them pays through your app every month, your app becomes part of their routine.
