Stage schools and performing arts classes teach children and teenagers singing, acting and dance, usually on weekends and after school. Most charge fees by the term, run holiday workshops and put on shows that families buy tickets for, and many still chase parents for late fees. A payments app that sends payment links for term fees and workshops and sells show tickets can win these schools, and every parent who pays sees your app.

Send payment links for term fees and workshops
A payment link sent before each term, and another when a holiday workshop opens, gets fees in before classes start and cuts down on chasing parents.

Sell show tickets and extras
Payment links for show tickets, costumes and exam fees let families pay from their phone, and every grandparent buying a ticket sees your app.
Grow through local classes and venues
Stage schools share parents with dance studios, music teachers and sports clubs, and hire the same halls and theatres. One stage school on your app can bring the businesses around it.
