How to grow your payments app with small museums and heritage attractions
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Small museums, historic houses, castles, gardens and heritage railways sell entry tickets and annual memberships, run guided tours, events and school visits, and earn money from a gift shop and café. Many are run by charities or volunteers and rely on donations, and visitors increasingly carry no cash for the donation box. A payments app that takes a tap at the entrance, lets schools and groups pay by link, and makes donating by card or QR code easy can win these attractions, and every visitor who pays sees your app.

Make donating easy
