Small toy shops compete with big online stores, and much of their year's trade comes before holidays and birthdays. Many would like to take orders by message and let customers collect in store, but setting up online payments feels hard. A payments app that takes QR payments in the shop and payment links for orders can win these shops, and every parent who pays sees your app.

Take orders by payment link
A payment link sent by message lets a parent pay for a toy in advance and collect it later, so the shop keeps sales it might lose online.
