How to grow your payments app with small breweries and distilleries
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Small breweries and distilleries sell in several ways at once: invoices to pubs and shops, cash and card at markets and festivals, and tickets for tours and tastings. Chasing trade invoices takes time, and market stalls need fast payments. A payments app that sends invoice links to trade buyers and takes QR payments at the stall can win these producers, and every buyer who pays sees your app.
Talk to producers
Ask local breweries and distilleries:
- How do pubs and shops pay you today?
- How do you take payment at markets and festivals?
- Do you sell tours or tastings, and how are they booked?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Send invoice links to trade buyers
A payment link on each delivery invoice makes it easy for pubs and shops to pay on time, and saves the producer chasing them.
Take payment at the stall
A QR code on the stall at markets and festivals means quick payments with no card reader needed.
Grow through the trade
Producers sell to many pubs, shops and restaurants, and meet other makers at every market. One brewery on your app can bring it to all of them.
