How to grow your payments app with poultry farmers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Poultry farmers raise chickens for meat and eggs, selling live birds and produce to households, market traders, shops, restaurants and caterers. Demand jumps before holidays and celebrations, and bulk buyers often want to order ahead. Farmers also buy day-old chicks, feed and vaccines regularly, and a single batch ties up a lot of money. A payments app that takes payment at the farm gate or by link, handles deposits for bulk and holiday orders and lets farmers pay their suppliers can win these farmers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to poultry farmers
Ask local poultry farmers:
- How do customers pay at the farm, and how do restaurants and shops pay?
- Do buyers order ahead for holidays, and do you take deposits?
- How do you pay for chicks, feed and vaccines?
- Do customers ask to pay by phone instead of cash?
Take payment at the farm gate or by link
Letting customers pay by phone when they collect birds or eggs, or by link before a delivery, means less cash on the farm and fewer unpaid orders.
Take deposits for bulk and holiday orders
A deposit link when a restaurant or family books a big order before a holiday means the farmer knows the birds are sold before the batch is ready.
Grow through suppliers and buyers
Poultry farmers buy from hatcheries and feed sellers and sell to traders and food businesses. When a farmer pays and gets paid through your app, both sides see it working.
