How to grow your payments app with second-hand clothes sellers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Second-hand and vintage clothes sellers sell at market stalls, from small shops and more and more through social media. Sales are often small and fast, and many buyers want to pay by phone. A payments app that handles quick sales in person and online can win these sellers, and their buyers are often young people who try new apps.
Talk to sellers and buyers
Ask local second-hand and vintage clothes sellers and their customers:
- How do buyers pay at the stall or shop today?
- How do you take payment when you sell through social media?
- How do you handle items held for a buyer who has not paid yet?
- What would make paying quicker for your buyers?
Take quick payments at the stall
A QR code on the rail or counter lets buyers pay in seconds, with less cash to handle on busy market days.
Sell online with a link
When selling through social media, a payment link for each item means the piece is paid for before it is posted or held, so fewer sales fall through.
Grow through buyers
Second-hand buyers love to share finds with friends. A seller who takes payments through your app puts it in front of buyers who are happy to try something new.
