How to grow your payments app with physiotherapists and massage therapists
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Physiotherapists and massage therapists often run small practices or work alone, from a treatment room or at clients' homes. They sell single sessions and packages, and a missed appointment is lost income. A payments app that takes deposits by link and payment after each session can win these therapists, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to therapists
Ask local physiotherapists and massage therapists:
- How do clients pay you today?
- How often do clients miss appointments?
- Do you sell packages of sessions, and how are they paid?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Take deposits when booking
A payment link sent with the booking lets the client pay a deposit, which cuts missed appointments.
Sell packages by link
A single link for a package of sessions gets the therapist paid up front and keeps clients coming back.
Grow through referrals
Therapists get clients from gyms, sports clubs and personal trainers. One therapist on your app can introduce you to the people who refer to them.
