How to grow your payments app with farm parks and petting farms

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Farm parks and petting farms sell entry tickets, bags of animal feed, pony rides, school trips and birthday parties. Queues build up at the gate in school holidays, and many visits are booked ahead. A payments app that sells tickets by link before the day, takes quick payments at the gate and the café, and collects party and school trip deposits can win these farms, and every family who pays sees your app.

Sell tickets before the day

A payment link for entry tickets lets families pay at home, so the gate moves faster on busy days.

Grow through family days out

Farm parks sit alongside play centres, cafés and farm shops, and families visit many of them. One farm on your app can introduce the others.
