Chess coaches teach beginners and improving players, often children, in schools, clubs and online. Many run after-school clubs paid for by the term, private lessons paid per session, and holiday camps. Chess clubs collect yearly memberships and entry fees for tournaments, sometimes from players who travel to take part. A payments app that handles term fees, lessons, memberships and tournament entries can win chess coaches and clubs, and every parent or player who pays them sees your app.

Collect term fees in one go
A link for the whole term lets parents pay once, so the coach knows who is coming and is not chasing weekly payments.

Take tournament entries online
A link for each tournament means players pay when they enter, so the organiser knows the numbers before the day and handles less cash at the door.
Grow through games and learning businesses
Chess coaches work alongside games shops, tutors and kids' clubs. When those businesses take payments through your app, each coach can bring more of them onto it.
