How to grow your payments app with shoe repairers and key cutters
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Shoe repairers and key cutters often run small high-street or kiosk shops that also fit watch batteries, engrave gifts and sell small items. Most payments are small and quick, and repairs are left for a few days and paid for on collection. A payments app that takes fast payments at the counter, and lets customers pay for a repair when they drop it off or when it is ready, can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Keep small payments quick
Fast tap or phone payments for a key, a heel or a watch battery keep the counter moving and the fees low for small amounts.

Let customers pay ahead
A payment link sent when a repair is ready lets customers pay in advance and just collect, so fewer repairs are left unclaimed.
Grow along the high street
These shops sit among dry cleaners, tailors, phone repairers and other small businesses. One shop on your app can introduce its neighbours.
