How to grow your payments app with dog trainers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Dog trainers run puppy classes in village halls and parks, six-week group courses and one-to-one visits for dogs with problem behaviour. Courses are usually paid in full before the first class, and places fill up with new puppy owners every month. A payments app that takes course fees by link and payment for home visits on the day can win these trainers, and every owner who books sees your app.
Talk to dog trainers
Ask local trainers:
- How do owners pay for courses today?
- Do people drop out after paying?
- How do you take payment for home visits?
- What would make bookings easier?
Sell courses by link
A payment link for each course lets a new puppy owner book and pay in a minute, and the trainer knows the place is filled.
Take payment at home visits
For one-to-one sessions, taking payment by card or link at the end of the visit means no cash and no chasing.
Grow through the dog world
Trainers know the local groomers, walkers, vets and kennels, and new owners ask them for recommendations. One trainer on your app can bring the rest.
