Caravan and holiday parks rent static caravans, lodges and touring pitches for short breaks and long summer stays. Many also charge yearly pitch fees to people who own a caravan on the park, and run a shop, bar, café, pool or entertainment on site. That means deposits, balances, instalments and lots of small payments every day. A payments app that sends booking and pitch fee links, splits fees into instalments and takes tap or QR payments across the park can win these parks, and every guest and owner who pays sees your app.

Take bookings and pitch fees by link
A deposit link when guests book, a balance link before arrival and a pitch fee link for owners, with instalments if they want them, means less chasing for the park office.

Take payments across the park
Tap to pay or a QR code at the shop, bar, café and pool lets guests pay quickly at busy times, and the park sees all its takings in one place.
Grow through the holiday trade
Park managers know campsites, glamping sites and local attractions. One park on your app can introduce the others.
