How to grow your payments app with trophy and engraving shops

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

A shop that takes payments
  1. Customers pick what they want
  2. They pay by card at checkout
  3. The order lands with you

Trophy and engraving shops make trophies, medals, shields, plaques and engraved gifts such as glassware, watches and keepsakes. Much of the work comes from sports clubs, schools and businesses ordering for end-of-season awards and events, so orders arrive in busy bursts, often paid by a club treasurer or a company, and large orders need a deposit before stock is bought. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote, lets a club or company pay by link and takes the balance on collection can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits for big orders

A payment link sent with the quote means the shop can buy trophies and medals for a club's awards night without paying for them first.
