How to grow your payments app with circus and aerial schools

Circus and aerial schools teach trapeze, silks, hoop, juggling and acrobatics to children and adults. Most sell weekly classes and term courses, plus holiday camps, workshops, parties and shows, and many rent space in halls or shared studios. Collecting term fees, chasing drop-in payments and taking bookings for camps takes time for small teams. A payments app that sends payment links for courses, takes drop-in payments by phone and gives parents a clear record can win schools, and every family that pays sees your app.

Collect term fees up front

Sending one payment link for a whole term, with the option to pay in parts, means fewer missed payments and less chasing.

Take bookings for camps and parties

Holiday camps, workshops and parties fill quickly. Taking payment when a place is booked secures it and saves admin later.

Grow through the venues and shows

Schools often share space with dance studios, gyms and climbing walls, and sell tickets for shows. When those venues and audiences pay through your app, one school can bring many more people onto it.
