How to grow your payments app with bushcraft and survival courses

Bushcraft and survival course leaders teach fire lighting, shelter building, foraging and knife skills on day courses, weekend camps, family days and team-building events. Most places are booked weeks ahead with a deposit, and the balance is due before the course starts. Gift vouchers sell well at Christmas and for birthdays. A payments app that takes deposits and balances by link, sells gift vouchers and handles group bookings can win these course leaders, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A payment link for the deposit holds the place, and a second link for the balance gets the course paid in full before the day.
