Do Big Business with our\u00a0100,000+ Small Businesses<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Running a small business in India is not easy. Behind\u00a0every success there are tales\u00a0of frustration, struggle and eventual victory over complex government regulations, ambiguous compliances, slow consumer traction, difficult labour markets, problems with getting paid and so on.<\/p>\n

At Instamojo, knowing this all too well\u00a0makes us endeavour each day to make the\u00a0process of collecting online &\u00a0mobile payments, for even a non-technical person, as easy and\u00a0fast as operating an email account or writing a blog post.<\/p>\n

Each time someone from our growing base of over 100,000 sellers and merchants\u00a0hollers how easy we made payments for them, we also get a glimpse of the underlying pain that we have successfully\u00a0mitigated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So nearly two years ago, we began a small internal experiment based on the question:<\/p>\n

\n

What other problems can we solve for small business owners that uses Instamojo?<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Our\u00a0answer was the \u201cInstamojo App Store<\/strong>\u201d, into which we launched half a dozen plug-and-play services \u2014 some paid and others\u00a0free \u2014 such as an affiliate marketing management system, SMS alerts and other nifty automations that helped a business do one or more of Saving Time<\/strong>, Saving Money<\/strong> or Selling More<\/strong>.\u00a0Since then, these apps have demonstrated\u00a0a steady growth in the number of new and retained users.<\/p>\n

But a lot more remains\u00a0to be done in the areas of logistics, accounting, back-office automations, payroll, credit,\u00a0compliances, tax filing and more. And we cannot do it all alone. Thankfully, the ecosystem of\u00a0companies and startups that solve these services smartly, often using technology, is growing.<\/p>\n

We are happy to announce that we are now open for\u00a0partnering with third-party service providers, startups and professionals to unlock and share this value.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of these apps-in-partnership are already live on the App Store, where partners such as Vakilsearch.com, Cleartax.com, Profitbooks.net, eCourierz.com and Loanzen.in are offering their services at discounted prices. We would like to invite your company or startup to join\u00a0us in our beta program too.<\/p>\n

How can you partner with us\u00a0and offer your services to our growing base of over 100,000 small businesses who use Instamojo? Here are some ways:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– List your service or product for an attractive price or bonus offerings
\n– Enhance an existing Instamojo feature by finding synergies with your product
\n– Use our credit billing system to charge subscriptions for your platform
\n– Access seller & merchant data for assessing business risk and offer services
\n– Access our APIs and build tightly integrated services that work seamlessly within Instamojo
\n– Any other approach that comes to your mind\u2014we are listening!<\/p>\n

We are happy to start the partnership lo-fi and integrate more tightly over time. We are also happy to offer our App Store API (currently in beta) and do a tighter integration right away.<\/p>\n

Please write to partnerships@instamojo.com<\/a>, we are eager to connect with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Do Big Business with our\u00a0100,000+ Small Businesses Running a small business in India is not easy.
