How to grow your payments app with magicians and close-up entertainers

- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Magicians, mentalists, caricaturists and other close-up entertainers work the room at weddings, corporate dinners, trade shows and parties. Most take a deposit to hold the date, then the balance before the event or on the night, and corporate clients often want a proper invoice. Many entertainers are sole traders who spend more time chasing payments than they would like. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, takes payment on the night with a tap and keeps clear records can win these entertainers, and every client who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A deposit link when the date is confirmed and a balance link before the event means the entertainer can focus on the show, not the money.
