Wellness retreat organisers run weekend and week-long retreats built around yoga, walking, writing, meditation or simply rest, often in rented houses, farms or glamping sites. Guests usually pay a deposit to book a place and the balance a few weeks before the retreat, and some prefer to pay in instalments. Organisers also need to pay venues and cooks up front. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, collects instalments and keeps a clear record of who has paid can win these organisers, and every guest who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A payment link for the deposit holds each place, and a second link for the balance gets the retreat paid in full before the organiser pays the venue.

Offer instalments
Letting guests spread the cost over a few payments helps organisers fill places on longer or pricier retreats.
Grow through teachers and venues
Retreat organisers work with yoga teachers, glamping sites and caterers. One organiser on your app can bring the teachers and venues they book.
