How to grow your payments app with coasteering providers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Coasteering providers guide groups along rocky coastlines, swimming in the sea, scrambling over rocks and jumping from ledges, with wetsuits, helmets and buoyancy aids supplied. Sessions are usually booked in advance by holidaymakers, families, stag and hen groups and school trips, and depend on the tide and the weather. A payments app that takes bookings, lets group members pay their own share and makes moving a session simple can win coasteering providers, and every customer who books sees your app.
Talk to coasteering providers
Ask local coasteering providers:
- How do customers book and pay for a session?
- How do large groups split the cost?
- What happens to payments when the sea is too rough to go out?
- Do you sell gift vouchers or photo packages?
Take bookings from the beach or the van
A payment link for each session lets customers book from their phones, and a QR code at the meeting point takes last-minute places without a card machine.
Make group payments and weather changes simple
The organiser of a group can pay a deposit and send each person a link for their share, and a session called off for bad weather can be moved or refunded from the same place.
Grow through coastal and adventure businesses
Coasteering providers work alongside surf schools, kayak hire firms and rafting operators in the same holiday spots. When those businesses take payments through your app, each provider can bring more of them onto it.
