How to grow your payments app with tuk-tuk and rickshaw drivers

- 3See every payment as it happens
Tuk-tuk and rickshaw drivers carry people and goods on short trips in towns and cities across Asia, Africa and Latin America, and in many tourist areas they also run sightseeing tours. Most fares are paid in cash, visitors often have no local money, and many drivers pay the vehicle owner a daily rent. A payments app that lets passengers pay by phone, sends a link for a tour booked ahead and helps drivers keep track of what they earn and pay out can win these drivers, and every passenger who pays sees your app.

Let passengers pay by phone
A code or link that a passenger can pay by phone means no hunting for change and no lost fares from visitors without local cash.

Take bookings for tours
A payment link for a half-day or full-day tour lets a driver confirm a booking from a hotel the night before, with the money already in.
Grow through stands and vehicle owners
Drivers often share a stand or rent from the same owner. When one driver and their owner use your app for fares and rent, the drivers around them see it working.
