How to grow your payments app with alpaca and llama trekking
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Alpaca and llama farms run guided walks and meet-and-greet sessions, where visitors lead an animal along a trail or spend time feeding and handling them. Some also bring animals to parties, weddings and care homes. Places are usually sold in advance for set times, and gift vouchers are a popular present. A payments app that makes booking links, vouchers and event deposits easy can win alpaca and llama farms, and every visitor who books sees your app.
Talk to alpaca and llama farms
Ask local alpaca and llama farms:
- How do visitors book and pay for a walk or meet-and-greet?
- How do you sell and track gift vouchers?
- How do you take deposits for visits to parties and events?
- What happens to payments when a walk is moved for bad weather?
Sell places with a booking link
A payment link for each walk or session lets visitors book from their phone, and the farm knows how many people are coming and who has paid.
Make vouchers and event deposits simple
Gift vouchers can be sold and redeemed through the app, and a deposit link for party and event visits means the date is secured before the animals travel.
Grow through farms and days out
Alpaca and llama farms sit alongside farm parks, riding stables and glamping sites in the same countryside. When those businesses take payments through your app, each farm can bring more of them onto it.
