How to grow your payments app with doulas and birth coaches

- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Doulas and birth coaches support parents through pregnancy, birth and the first weeks at home. Most sell a package: a deposit to book, a few antenatal visits, being on call around the due date, and postnatal visits afterwards. Many families pay in instalments, and grandparents or friends sometimes pay as a gift. A payments app that takes the deposit by link, collects instalments on time and lets someone else pay as a gift can win these doulas, and every family who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and instalments by link
A deposit link when the family books and a link for each instalment means the doula is paid on time without awkward reminders.

Let others pay as a gift

Grow through parents and families
Doulas know baby and toddler class leaders, nurseries and childminders. One doula on your app can introduce the others.
