How to grow your payments app with yoga and dance studios
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Yoga and dance studios sell a mix of drop-in classes, class passes and monthly memberships. Many teachers still collect cash at the door or chase people who forgot to pay. A simple way to pay before class, or once a month, can fill classes and save the teacher time.
Talk to a few studio owners
Ask studio owners and teachers:
- How do students pay for a class today?
- How many students come on a pass or membership?
- How often do people book and not turn up?
- What do you pay in fees to take payments now?
Let students pay before class
A payment link with each class booking means students have paid before they arrive. The teacher can start on time instead of taking money at the door.
Make memberships easy
A regular monthly payment set up once keeps students coming and gives the studio steady income it can plan around.
Grow through teachers
Many yoga and dance teachers teach in more than one place. A teacher who likes your app can bring it into every studio they work with.
