How to grow your payments app with wholesalers and distributors

Wholesalers and distributors supply the small shops, kiosks and market stalls that most people buy from every day. Drivers often collect cash on delivery, which is risky to carry and hard to track. A payments app that lets shops pay their supplier by phone can win the distributor, and through them, every shop on the delivery route.

Replace cash on delivery
Let the shop pay the driver's invoice from their phone at the door, so the money goes straight to the distributor and the driver carries less cash.

Keep clear records for both sides
Every payment comes with a record, so the distributor knows who has paid and the shop can show what it spent on stock.
Grow along the delivery route
One distributor may supply hundreds of shops. Win the distributor and each shop on the route can start using your app, first to pay for stock and then to take payments from its own customers.
