How to grow your payments app with T-shirt printers and embroiderers

- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
T-shirt printers and embroiderers make custom clothing: printed T-shirts and hoodies, embroidered workwear, team kits for sports clubs, and merchandise for bands, events and small businesses. Most take a deposit before starting a run and the rest when the order is collected or posted. Group orders are common, where a club or school wants each member to pay for their own item. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, lets each person in a group pay for their own order, and takes payment on collection can win these businesses, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A deposit link when the design is approved and a balance link when the order is ready means the printer isn't left out of pocket for blank stock.

One link that each club member or parent can use to pay for their own size and item saves the organiser from collecting cash.
