How to grow your payments app with baby and toddler classes

Baby and toddler classes run in church halls, community centres and cafés, covering music, sensory play, signing, baby massage and messy play. Most leaders sell a term of weekly sessions, with drop-in places when there is space, and many run the class alone, collecting money while setting up. Parents usually pay on their phone and want to book a place quickly. A payments app that sells a term by link, takes drop-in payments with a tap and keeps a simple list of who has paid can win these class leaders, and every parent who pays sees your app.

Sell terms and places by link
A payment link for each term, shared in the class group chat, means places are paid for before the first session.

Take drop-ins with a tap
A tap or a QR code at the door lets a parent pay for a drop-in place in seconds, without the leader handling cash while setting up.
Grow through parents and families
Class leaders know swimming teachers, nurseries, childminders and doulas. One class on your app can introduce the others.
