How to grow your payments app with vets and pet 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

Pet owners face surprise vet bills, regular food and supplies, and sometimes monthly care plans. Independent vets and pet shops often want a simpler way to take payments, send bills and set up regular payments. A payments app that does this well can win pet businesses, and every pet owner who pays them sees your app.
