How to grow your payments app with climbing walls
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Climbing and bouldering walls sell day passes, monthly memberships, beginner courses, shoe hire and kids' birthday parties. The desk gets busy at evenings and weekends, and parties and courses are booked ahead. A payments app that takes quick payments at the desk, regular payments for members and deposits for parties by link can win these walls, and every climber who pays sees your app.
Talk to climbing walls
Ask local walls:
- How do climbers pay for passes today?
- How do you collect monthly memberships?
- Do you take deposits for parties?
- How busy is the desk at peak times?
Keep the desk moving
Quick tap or phone payments for day passes and shoe hire keep the queue short on busy evenings.
Take party deposits by link
A deposit link for a kids' party or group session holds the booking, and the balance can be paid on the day.
Grow through the climbing community
Walls know the local clubs, coaches and outdoor instructors, and climbers visit walls in other towns. One wall on your app can introduce others.
