How to grow your payments app with swimming teachers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Swimming teachers often run their own lessons, renting pool time and selling blocks of lessons to parents. Collecting fees at the poolside is awkward, and missed payments add up. A payments app that sends a link for each block of lessons can win these teachers, and every parent who pays sees your app.
Talk to swimming teachers
Ask local swimming teachers:
- How do parents pay for lessons today?
- Do you sell lessons in blocks, and how do you collect for them?
- How often do you chase late payments?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Sell lesson blocks by link
A payment link for each block of lessons, sent before the first lesson, lets parents pay from their phone and saves the teacher chasing at the pool.
Keep track of who has paid
A simple list of paid and unpaid places helps the teacher fill spaces and plan pool time.
Grow through parents and pools
Parents talk at the poolside and teachers share pools. One teacher on your app can bring you other teachers and many families.
