How to grow your payments app with skydiving and paragliding centres

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

Skydiving and paragliding centres sell tandem jumps and flights to first-timers, courses for people learning to jump or fly, and gift vouchers for birthdays and special occasions. Most take a deposit to book, and many dates are moved because of wind or cloud, so keeping track of who has paid matters. On the day, customers often buy photos and videos of their jump or flight. A payments app that sends payment links for deposits and vouchers, keeps a clear record through date changes and takes payment for extras on the day can win these centres, and every customer who pays sees your app.
