How to grow your payments app with art and craft teachers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Art and craft teachers run painting, pottery, sewing and other classes, often in small studios, community halls or at home. They take bookings for courses and one-off workshops, and sell materials on the day. A payments app that takes bookings by link and payments on the day can win these teachers, and every student who pays sees your app.
Talk to teachers
Ask local art and craft teachers:
- How do students book and pay for classes today?
- How often do people book and then not turn up?
- How do students pay for materials?
- What would make booking and paying easier?
Take bookings by link
A payment link for each class or course confirms the place, so fewer students book and then don't come.
Sell materials on the day
A QR code on the table lets students pay for materials or finished pieces in seconds, without the teacher handling change.
Grow through the studio
Teachers share studios and halls with yoga and dance classes, music teachers and makers. One teacher on your app can bring you the others they work beside.
