How to grow your payments app with perfume and cosmetics sellers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Perfume and cosmetics sellers range from small high-street shops and market stalls to people selling fragrances, body oils, skincare and makeup through Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp. Many take orders by message, arrange delivery and then wait for a bank transfer or cash on delivery, which leads to lost sales and chasing. A payments app that sends a payment link with each order, takes tap payments at stalls and makes repeat orders easy can win these sellers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to perfume and cosmetics sellers
Ask local perfume and cosmetics sellers:
- How do customers who order by message pay you today?
- How often do you deliver an order and then wait to be paid?
- How do you take payments at markets and pop-up stalls?
- Do customers reorder the same products, and how do they pay each time?
Send a payment link with every order
A payment link sent in the order chat gets the money in before the parcel goes out, with no cash on delivery to collect.
Take tap payments at stalls
Taking payments by tapping a phone at markets and pop-ups means more sales from customers without cash.
Grow through beauty businesses
Perfume and cosmetics sellers know salons, lash artists and makeup artists. One seller on your app can introduce you to many beauty businesses.
