How to grow your payments app with archery and axe throwing venues
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Archery centres and axe throwing venues run taster sessions, courses and memberships, and much of their money comes from group bookings for birthdays, stag and hen parties and work team days. Groups need a deposit to hold a lane or a slot, the organiser often wants everyone to pay their own share, and extras like drinks and food are sold on the day. A payments app that takes a deposit by link, lets each person in a group pay their share and takes a tap at the bar can win these venues, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to archery and axe throwing venues
Ask local venue owners:
- How do groups pay a deposit today?
- How often does the organiser end up paying for everyone?
- How are drinks and extras paid on the day?
- How many bookings are lost to no-shows?
Hold slots with a deposit
A payment link sent with the booking means a lane or slot is only held once the deposit is paid, which cuts no-shows.
Let everyone pay their share
Each person in a stag party or team outing can pay their own share by link, so the organiser isn't left out of pocket.
Grow through group days out
These venues know paintball sites, escape rooms and party planners. One venue on your app can introduce the others.
