How to grow your payments app with social media managers and freelance marketers

- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Social media managers and freelance marketers post content, run ads, write newsletters and plan campaigns for cafes, salons, trades, shops and online sellers. Most charge a monthly retainer, with extra fees for one-off campaigns, photo shoots or launches, and many work for clients they never meet in person. Late retainers are a common worry because the work keeps going while the money waits. A payments app that takes a regular monthly payment, sends a link for extra work and shows who has paid can win these marketers, and every client who pays sees your app.
Collect retainers automatically
A regular monthly payment set up once means the marketer is paid on the same day each month without sending reminders.

Charge for extra work by link
A payment link for a campaign, a shoot or a launch lets the client pay before the work starts, from the same chat where they asked for it.
Grow through their client list
Marketers work with many small businesses that also need to take payments. One marketer on your app can introduce a whole client list.
