How to grow your payments app with music venues and comedy clubs

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Small music venues and comedy clubs sell tickets online and on the door, take lots of bar payments on busy nights, and pay bands, comedians and promoters after each show. Many still juggle cash on the door, a separate ticket site and bank transfers to performers. A payments app that sells tickets by link, takes fast bar payments and makes paying performers simple can win these venues, and every audience member and performer who uses it sees your app.

Pay performers quickly

Paying a band or comedian straight after the show, with a clear record of what was paid, builds goodwill and brings performers back.

Grow through the scene

Performers play many venues, and venues share audiences and promoters. One venue on your app can introduce performers, promoters and other venues.
