How to grow your payments app with sports clubs
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Local sports clubs are usually run by volunteers who spend hours collecting subs, match fees and kit money. An easy way for members to pay can save them time and win you a whole club of users at once.
Ask the treasurer
The person who looks after the money knows the pain best. Ask them:
- What do members pay for, and how often?
- How do they pay today?
- How much time goes on chasing people who haven't paid?
- How do you keep track of who has paid?
One link for each payment
A payment link for subs, match fees or a kit order can be shared in the club's group chat. Members pay from their phone and the treasurer can see who has paid.
Make regular payments easy
Many clubs charge monthly or per season. Being able to pay the same amount each time without re-entering details helps members keep up to date.
Grow through leagues and parents
Clubs play other clubs in the same league, and parents of young players often help at more than one club. A treasurer who is happy with your app will mention it to others.
