High-value sales · Timber & aggregates
Payments for timber yards, aggregates and merchants
Trade customers ring in orders, drivers deliver them and the counter is only part of the picture. Payments need to work when an order is phoned in, at the yard and at the drop.
Sound familiar?
Where payments tend to get awkward.
- Card details read out over the phone before a lorry can leave the yard.
- Drivers collecting payment on delivery.
- Trade counter, office and transport all needing to see who has paid.

- Payment links sent by text or email while the customer is still on the call
- QR codes on order confirmations for customers to scan and pay
