More Ways to Pay: Driving Merchant Growth in 2025

In today’s competitive marketplace, flexibility is key to retaining and growing your customer base. Builders, contractors, and tradespeople expect fast, easy, and diverse payment solutions that align with their cashflow needs. Offering more payment options can set you apart and drive significant growth in 2025.

The Benefits of Offering More Payment Options

• Attract New Customers: By providing flexible payment methods, you remove barriers to doing business with new customers, particularly smaller tradespeople who may not have cash upfront.

• Increase Sales Volume: Builders and tradespeople are more likely to make larger purchases if they have credit or payment flexibility. This directly translates to higher transaction values for your business.

• Build Customer Loyalty: Offering a seamless and tailored payment experience shows you understand your customers’ needs, strengthening relationships and keeping them coming back.

• Reduce Credit Risk: Partnering with platforms like ProTradePay allows you to accept payments upfront without extending credit directly, eliminating financial risks while still offering flexibility.

What Payment Flexibility Looks Like

Here are ways merchants can diversify payment options in 2025:

• Trade Credit Integration: Collaborate with platforms like ProTradePay, enabling tradespeople to access instant credit while you receive guaranteed upfront payments.

• Digital Payment Solutions: Offer support for payment methods like virtual cards, Apple Pay, and other contactless options that streamline in-store and online transactions.

• Flexible Repayment Plans: Introduce options like installment payments for larger purchases, making your products accessible to more customers.

The Competitive Edge in 2025

Customers increasingly prioritise convenience and flexibility when choosing where to spend. By adopting a proactive approach to payment solutions, you not only meet their expectations but also create opportunities to stand out in a crowded market.
