How to grow your payments app with rehearsal and recording studios

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

Rehearsal rooms and recording studios are booked by the hour or the day by bands, singers, rappers and podcasters. Many sessions need a deposit to hold the slot, and the rest is paid on the day, often split between band members. A payments app that takes deposits by link and lets each member pay their share can win these studios, and every artist who pays sees your app.

Hold slots with a deposit

A payment link sent when a session is booked secures the slot and cuts no-shows.

Let bands split the bill

Sending each member a link for their share saves the studio waiting while the band sorts out who owes what.

Grow through music

Artists play gigs, sell merch and teach lessons, and they talk to each other all the time. One studio on your app can bring many of them to it.
