Amateur theatre groups, choirs and music societies are run by volunteers who collect termly or yearly subscriptions, sell tickets for shows and concerts, and raise money for costumes, sheet music and venue hire. Often a treasurer is chasing cash and bank transfers by hand. A payments app that takes regular subscriptions, sells tickets by link and keeps a clear record for the treasurer can win these groups, and every member and audience member who pays sees your app.

Collect subscriptions without chasing

A regular payment or a payment link for each term means the treasurer no longer has to chase members at rehearsals.
