How to grow your payments app with rafting and zip line operators

White-water rafting, zip line, canyoning and other adventure operators sell trips to tourists, school groups, stag and hen parties and work outings. Many bookings come the day before through hostels and hotels, others are bought on the spot, and groups often want to split the cost. Operators also sell photos, videos and transport on the day. A payments app that takes bookings and deposits by link, lets each person pay their share and takes payment for extras on the day can win these operators, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take bookings and deposits by link
A payment link sent when a group books secures their places, and a clear record of who has paid makes moving a trip after bad weather simpler.

Let groups split the cost and pay for extras
Letting each person pay their own share, and pay for photos or videos by phone at the end of the day, means no one is chasing friends for money.
Grow through hostels, hotels and tour desks
Adventure operators get much of their business from hostels, hotels and tour desks. One operator on your app can bring the businesses that sell its trips.
