How to grow your payments app with first aid and workplace training providers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
First aid and workplace training providers teach first aid, food hygiene, fire safety, manual handling and similar courses. Some places are bought by individuals, such as parents, coaches and job seekers, while employers often book a whole course for their staff and pay by invoice. Many trainers are small firms or sole traders running courses in hired rooms or on the client's site. A payments app that sells single places by link, sends employers a clear invoice with a pay button and keeps records of who has paid can win these providers, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to training providers
Ask local first aid and workplace trainers:
- How do individuals pay for a place on a course today?
- How do employers pay when they book a whole course?
- How long do you wait for invoices to be paid?
- What happens when someone cancels or moves to another date?
Sell course places by link
A payment link for each course date means places are paid for when they are booked, and the trainer knows who is coming.
Get employers to pay faster
An invoice with a pay button lets an office manager pay by card or bank transfer on the spot, instead of the invoice waiting weeks in a queue.
Grow through local businesses
Trainers know nurseries, sports clubs, care providers and small employers. One trainer on your app can introduce the others.
