How to grow your payments app with language schools

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Paid every month
  1. Set up the plan once
  2. It renews on the same day each month
  3. Payments arrive without chasing

Language schools often teach students from many countries, who pay deposits and course fees before they arrive and in instalments while they study. Chasing payments across borders and currencies takes time. A payments app that makes fees clear and easy to pay can win schools, and every student who pays through it learns your name.

Offer instalments

Longer courses are easier to afford in parts. Scheduled payments help students budget and help schools know what is coming in.

Grow through agents and alumni

Many schools work with agents who send students from abroad, and past students recommend schools to friends. Both can carry your app to new countries.
