Ski and snowboard schools teach children and adults on mountains and indoor slopes, selling single lessons, week-long courses, private lessons and equipment hire. Most students are visitors who book weeks ahead, often from other countries, and the busiest weeks are school holidays. A payments app that takes a deposit or full payment by link when a lesson is booked, handles last-minute private lessons on the slope and sells hire with the lesson can win these schools, and every family who pays sees your app.

Take payment when lessons are booked
A payment link sent when a course or private lesson is booked secures the place, so instructors are not kept free for people who never arrive.

Take last-minute payments on the slope
A link or code an instructor can share on the spot lets a student pay for an extra private lesson without going back to the office.
Grow through resorts and hire shops
Ski schools work alongside hire shops, chalets and resort businesses, which see the same visitors. One school on your app can introduce the others.
