How to grow your payments app with small travel agents

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Money on its way
  1. Pick who to pay and type the amount
  2. Tap send and it is on its way
  3. It lands in their account

Small travel agents organise holidays, family visits, group trips and pilgrimages. Customers often pay a deposit to book, then the rest in parts before they travel. A payments app that makes deposits and part payments clear and easy to track can win these agents, and every traveller who books with them sees your app.

Talk to agents and travellers

Keep group trips in order

For group trips, one link per traveller makes it easy to see who has paid, and reminders before each due date save the agent from chasing.

Grow through travellers

Travellers tell family and friends about trips they enjoyed. An agent who takes payments through your app puts it in front of whole families and communities.
