Foraging guides lead wild food walks and courses in woods, hedgerows and along the coast, teaching people what can be picked safely and how to cook it. Places are usually sold in advance for set dates, while private walks for groups, hen parties and team days are booked with a deposit. Gift vouchers are popular presents too. A payments app that makes booking links, vouchers and group payments easy can win foraging guides, and every guest who books sees your app.

Sell places with a booking link
A payment link for each walk or course lets guests book a place from their phone, and the guide knows who has paid before the day.

Make vouchers and group payments simple
Gift vouchers can be sold and redeemed through the app, and a group organiser can pay a deposit and share the rest out between guests.
Grow through outdoor and food businesses
Foraging guides work alongside forest schools, cookery schools and local tour guides. When those businesses take payments through your app, each foraging guide can bring more of them onto it.
