How to grow your payments app with paintball and laser tag sites
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Paintball and laser tag sites run on group bookings: kids' birthday parties, stag and hen dos, team days and groups of friends. The organiser usually pays a deposit, then chases everyone else for their share, and on the day players buy extra paintballs, snacks and drinks. A payments app that takes deposits by link, lets each player pay their own share and takes quick card payments on site can win these sites, and every player who pays sees your app.
Talk to paintball and laser tag sites
Ask local sites:
- How do groups book and pay deposits today?
- Does the organiser collect money from everyone else?
- What do players buy on the day?
- How many no-shows or late cancellations do you get?
Let each player pay their share
A payment link the organiser can share with the group lets each player pay their own place, so the organiser isn't left out of pocket and the site knows who is coming.
Take quick payments on site
Extra paintballs, snacks and drinks are small, quick sales. A fast tap to pay at the kiosk keeps the game moving.
Grow through group days out
Groups that book paintball often book bowling, escape rooms or trampoline parks too. One venue on your app can introduce the others.
