How to grow your payments app with record shops and music stores

- 3The order lands with you
Record shops and music stores sell new and second-hand vinyl, CDs, instruments and gear. Many take pre-orders for new releases, hold expensive instruments with a deposit and run in-store gigs and signings. A payments app that takes tap payments at the counter, sends a payment link for pre-orders and deposits and sells tickets for events can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take pre-orders with a payment link
A payment link lets a fan pay for a new release before it arrives, so the shop orders the right number of copies.

Hold instruments with a deposit
A deposit paid by link secures a guitar or keyboard until the buyer collects it, and the balance is paid in a tap at the counter.
Grow through the music scene
Record shops know local bands, music teachers and venues. One shop on your app can introduce the others.
