How to grow your payments app with vineyards and wineries
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Vineyards and wineries sell tours and tastings, bottles and cases at the cellar door, wine club memberships and events such as weddings and harvest days. Many also sell to shops, restaurants and hotels, who may pay later. A payments app that sells tours and tastings by link, takes regular payments for wine clubs and sends invoices to trade buyers can win these wineries, and every visitor who pays sees your app.
Talk to vineyards and wineries
Ask local wineries:
- How do visitors pay for tours and tastings today?
- Do you run a wine club or regular orders?
- How do shops and restaurants pay you?
- Do you take deposits for events?
Sell tours and tastings by link
A payment link for a tour or tasting lets visitors book ahead, so the winery knows who is coming.
Take regular payments for wine clubs
A regular payment for a wine club means members are charged on time for each delivery, without the winery chasing anyone.
Grow through food and drink producers
Wineries sit alongside breweries, distilleries and farm shops, and the same visitors and buyers use many of them. One winery on your app can introduce the others.
