How to grow your payments app with reptile and exotic pet shops

Reptile and exotic pet shops sell snakes, lizards, tortoises, insects and other animals, along with vivariums, heating, lighting and a steady supply of live and frozen food. Customers often pay a deposit to reserve an animal or a full set-up, and many come back every week or two for food. Some shops also sell at reptile shows and ship supplies to customers. A payments app that takes counter and show payments, sends deposit links and collects regular food orders can win these shops, and every keeper who pays them sees your app.

Send deposit links for animals and set-ups
A payment link for the deposit lets a customer reserve an animal or vivarium from home, and the shop knows the order is secured before buying stock.

Make regular food orders easy
Keepers need food on a steady schedule. A saved order they can pay for in a tap, or a regular payment, brings them back and keeps shops busy between bigger sales.
Grow through pet businesses
Reptile shops work alongside exotic vets, aquarium shops and pet sitters. When those businesses take payments through your app, each shop can bring more of them onto it.
