Client background
Local community street markets are key to the success of healthy high streets and town centres,however in order for them to survive, they need to adapt to the needs of today’s modern consumers. Marketti, a Paysme owned service, addresses the two main current issues facing the UK’s local street markets today:
First, it connects market operators, market traders and street food vendors with consumers by providing them with an online platform where they can find all the information they need on the markets in their local area, such as where to eat, drink and shop, as well as updates to opening hours and traders’ stalls.
Second, it provides an easy-to-use contactless mobile payments platform which allows traders to take payment for their goods and services from visiting consumers.
Endorsed by The National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA) and used by renowned London markets; Borough Market, Portobello Market and Camden Market, Paysme provides a unique and single online solution that encompasses local street market discovery and payment functionality.
