The Opportunity

Problem

Freelancers in retailtech struggle with cashflow due to delayed payments from risk-averse store owners.

Solution

QuickRetailPay is a payment facilitation platform that helps retailtech freelancers negotiate and automate payment schedules with store owners. Freelancers propose split-payment plans or early deposits, and the platform sends automated reminders and handles transactions securely. This reduces payment delays by incentivizing store owners with flexible terms while ensuring freelancers maintain cash flow.

Target Audience

Differentiator
