How to grow your payments app with dog daycare
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Dog daycare centres look after dogs while their owners are at work, with play, rest and supervision through the day, and some offer pick-up and drop-off. Many owners use the same centre several days every week, paying by the day, buying bundles of days or paying a monthly plan. A payments app that handles regular payments, bundles and one-off extra days simply can win dog daycare centres, and every owner who pays them sees your app.
Talk to dog daycare centres
Ask local dog daycare centres:
- How do owners pay: by the day, in bundles or monthly?
- How do you handle late cancellations and missed days?
- How do owners pay for extra days or pick-up and drop-off?
- How much time do you spend chasing late payments?
Set up regular payments and bundles
Owners can pay a monthly plan automatically or buy a bundle of days, so the centre knows what is coming in and spends less time chasing.
Make extra days and extras simple
An extra day, a pick-up or a bath can each be paid from a link, so owners can add what they need from their phones.
Grow through pet businesses
Dog daycare centres work alongside dog walkers, groomers and kennels who serve the same owners. When those businesses take payments through your app, each daycare centre can bring more of them onto it.
