How to grow your payments app with musicians and music teachers

By SendPay Business ยท ยท 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

Music teachers often chase parents for lesson fees, and working musicians wait weeks to be paid for gigs. At shows, many fans want to buy a CD or a T-shirt but have no cash. A payments app that makes lesson fees, gig invoices and merch sales simple can win musicians who then show it to their pupils and fans.

Make lesson fees automatic

Let teachers send a payment link for a term of lessons or set up a weekly payment, so they spend less time chasing and more time teaching.
