How to grow your payments app with kids' coding and STEM clubs

Kids' coding, robotics and science clubs teach children to build games, program robots and run experiments, in schools, libraries, community centres and online. Most sell a term of weekly sessions, plus holiday camps and sometimes birthday parties, and parents expect to book and pay on their phone. Clubs juggle sibling discounts, part-term joiners and camp deposits. A payments app that sells terms and camps by link, handles instalments and gives parents a clear receipt can win these clubs, and every parent who pays sees your app.

Sell terms and camps by link
A payment link for each term or camp, shared by email or the class group chat, means places are paid for before the first session.

Make paying easy for families
Instalments for longer camps and one link that covers two siblings take the friction out of paying, and a clear receipt keeps family records tidy.
Grow through parents and schools
Clubs know after-school clubs, tutors, swimming teachers and baby and toddler classes. One club on your app can introduce the others.
