How to grow your payments app with water and gas delivery sellers

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

In many places, households buy drinking water and cooking gas from local sellers who deliver to the door. These are regular payments, often in cash, and drivers carry money all day. A payments app that lets households pay on delivery by phone can win these sellers, and they visit many homes every week.

Get paid at the door

The driver shows a QR code or sends a payment link, the customer pays by phone and gets a receipt, and the driver carries less cash.

Let regulars order and pay ahead

Regular customers can pay for their next delivery by link when they order, so the driver just drops off and moves on.
