Small shop owners need faster, cheaper access to card payment funds without waiting days for bank settlement.

Stripe and Square have standard settlement delays (2-3 days or next-day only if enabled), and instant payouts cost extra, making them less ideal for very small merchants who need immediate cash flow.
