- 3See every payment as it happens
Community halls, function rooms and small venues are hired for parties, meetings, classes and celebrations. Each booking usually needs a deposit, a final payment and sometimes a refundable damage deposit, and many are run by volunteers or small teams. A payments app that sends a link for each payment can win these venues, and everyone who books sees your app.

Take deposits by link
A payment link sent when a date is agreed secures the booking and saves the venue chasing cash or bank transfers.

Keep regular hirers simple
Groups that hire the hall every week can pay by the same link each time, which suits volunteers who manage the bookings.
Grow through events
Everyone who hires a venue, and many of their guests, deal with caterers, entertainers and suppliers. One venue on your app puts it in front of all of them.
