How to grow your payments app with glamping sites

Glamping sites rent yurts, bell tents, pods, shepherd's huts, cabins and treehouses, often on farms and in the countryside. Many take a deposit when guests book and the balance a few weeks before arrival, and sell extras such as hot tub use, firewood, breakfast hampers and late check-out. Owners are often small, family-run businesses that want to take bookings directly instead of paying big booking site fees. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, and lets guests pay for extras with a tap or a QR code, can win these sites, and every guest who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A deposit link when guests book and a balance link before arrival means the owner doesn't have to chase payments or share bank details.
