How to grow your payments app with holiday clubs and summer camps

Holiday clubs and summer camps run sports, arts and activity days for children during school holidays, often in schools, leisure centres and parks. Parents book single days or whole weeks, sometimes at short notice, and extras like early drop-off or trips cost more. A payments app that sends a booking link, takes deposits for whole weeks and adds extras in a tap can win these clubs, and every parent who pays sees your app.

Make extras easy to add
Early drop-off, late pick-up and trips can be added to a booking in a tap, instead of cash handed over at the gate.
Grow through parents
Parents talk to each other, and holiday clubs work alongside after-school clubs, sports clubs and childminders. One club on your app can introduce the others.
