How to grow your payments app with fishing lakes and fisheries
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Fishing lakes and fisheries sell day tickets to anglers who often arrive at first light, when there may be no one at the gate. Many also sell season tickets, run fishing matches with pegs booked in advance and have a small tackle or bait shop on site. Day tickets need a way to pay without staff, matches need paying ahead and season tickets need a simple yearly or monthly payment. A payments app that does all of this can win these fisheries, and every angler who pays sees your app.
Talk to fishing lakes and fisheries
Ask local fisheries:
- How do anglers pay for day tickets today?
- Is anyone at the gate early in the morning?
- Do you run matches or sell season tickets?
- Do you sell bait, tackle or food on site?
Sell day tickets without staff
A QR code on a sign by the gate lets anglers pay for a day ticket on their phone at dawn, and the fishery can see who has paid.
Take match and season payments ahead
A booking link for a match peg or a season ticket means anglers pay in advance, so the fishery isn't chasing money on the bank.
Grow through the angling world
Fisheries work alongside tackle shops and angling clubs. One fishery on your app can introduce the others.
