How to grow your payments app with swimming pools and lidos
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Independent swimming pools and lidos, many run by small trusts, clubs or community groups, sell timed swim sessions, season tickets and memberships, lessons, and snacks at the café. On a hot day hundreds of people can turn up at once, so quick booking and quick paying matter. A payments app that sells sessions and memberships by link, takes monthly payments and lets people tap or scan to pay at the gate and café can win these pools, and every swimmer who pays sees your app.

Sell sessions and memberships by link
A link for each session and a monthly payment for members means fewer queues at the gate and steadier money through the year.
