Audience overview in Riftjaw with daily audience, new contacts and most engaged people

Selling card terminals, online payments and merchant services to web designers

Web designers are often freelancers or small studios who build and look after sites for local businesses. They buy hosting, tools and outsourced development, and they choose partners who make them look good in front of their clients.

Payment providers and their resellers reach merchants through field sales, partners and direct outreach to shops and hospitality businesses. A lead database of merchants lets you track who you visited, who replied and who signed up.

The web designers that need card terminals, online payments and merchant services are listed publicly. What most payment providers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What payment providers run into with web designers

Field sales and email outreach use different lists.

Keep every merchant in one database with statuses that both field and office staff can see.

Merchant lists from directories are full of duplicates.

The import flags duplicates within the file and against your database before anything is published.

Web designers find their own names in footers and get many partnership mails.

A short, specific message sent in small batches stands out more than a long pitch.

Freelancers rarely list an email address and use hello@ on their own domain.

Email from domain with hello@ ticked gives you a likely address to test.

Platform	The site builder or framework they use shapes your offer.
Freelancer or studio	Studios buy more seats and more outsourced work.

Questions people ask

Can I collect web designers from footer credits?

You can gather the sites yourself and paste the page HTML into paste and collect, which turns repeating blocks into rows. Riftjaw does not crawl the web on its own.

Are hello@ addresses for web designers verified?

No. They are likely addresses built from common patterns. Test with a small batch and watch the send log.

How do I get email addresses for web designers in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, studio@ and design@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
