How to grow your payments app with market and car boot organisers

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Market, craft fair and car boot organisers rent out pitches to sellers each week or each event, and some charge buyers a small entry fee. Much of this is still collected in cash on the day, early in the morning, in a field or car park. A payment link that lets sellers book and pay for a pitch ahead, and a quick way to take entry at the gate, can win these organisers, and every seller and buyer who pays sees your app.

Take pitch fees ahead

A payment link for a pitch lets sellers book and pay before the day, so the organiser knows who is coming and handles less cash.

Grow through the sellers

Market sellers trade at many markets and fairs each month. Once they pay for one pitch on your app, they can take payments from their own customers too.
