How to grow your payments app with Reiki practitioners
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Reiki practitioners work from a treatment room, a shared clinic or clients' homes, and some offer distance sessions online. Clients often book a few sessions at a time, and many practitioners also teach Reiki courses over a weekend and run group sessions. Most work alone and lose money when a client does not turn up. A payments app that handles session bookings, packages, course fees and gift vouchers can win Reiki practitioners, and every client who pays them sees your app.
Talk to Reiki practitioners
Ask local Reiki practitioners:
- How do clients pay for a session?
- Do you take a deposit when a client books?
- How do students pay for a Reiki course?
- How do you sell gift vouchers?
Take payment when clients book
A link sent when a client books means the session is paid or part-paid in advance, so a missed appointment does not cost the practitioner a whole slot.
Sell packages and courses
Links for a set of sessions or a course place let clients and students pay once, so the practitioner knows who is committed and is not chasing money each week.
Grow through wellbeing businesses
Reiki practitioners often share rooms with massage therapists, reflexologists and meditation teachers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each practitioner can bring more of them onto it.
