How to start a payments app for driving instructors and driving schools
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Driving instructors often chase lesson money by cash, bank transfer and reminders on the go. A payments app built for them, under your own brand, can bring lesson payments, block bookings and business accounts into one place, and you can offer it to instructors in your town, region or network.
What instructors need
- A payment link to send before each lesson.
- Invoices for block bookings of 5 or 10 lessons.
- An account that keeps lesson income apart from personal money.
- A clear record of who has paid, for tax time.
Who could launch it
A driving school with several instructors, a local instructor network, a franchise or an entrepreneur who knows the trade and wants to serve instructors across a region.
How to get your first users
Start with instructors you know, show them how a payment link replaces cash in the car, and ask them to invite learners to pay the same way. Instructor forums and local training centres are good places to reach more.
