Kayak, canoe and paddleboard hire businesses rent equipment by the hour or day, run guided trips and lessons, and sell to groups and families. Many work from a beach, lake or riverbank, busy on sunny days and quiet in bad weather. A payments app that takes bookings and deposits by link, lets groups pay their own share and takes payments at the water's edge can win these businesses, and every paddler who pays sees your app.

Take bookings and deposits by link
A payment link for a trip or lesson holds the slot, and a deposit covers the equipment until it comes back.

Get paid at the water's edge
A payment link or QR code on a phone lets customers pay on the beach or riverbank, with no card machine needed.
Grow through outdoor businesses
Hire businesses sit alongside surf and dive schools, boat trips and campsites, and the same visitors use many of them. One hire business on your app can introduce the others.
