Advantages of in-app payments for your business

When you use TIMP to manage your sports center, yoga and pilates studio or health clinic, your clients have an application from which they can book and also pay for those classes or bonuses they want to consume. This form of payment is called in-app, and it is one of the most useful tools TIMP offers you.

In this article we are going to learn about the advantages provided by the use of in-app payments, especially at a time like this, when it is preferable to avoid cash transactions.

This feature, which you can enable from your control panel, allows your customers to make payments from the TIMP booking app on their mobile device.

Since the phone is an item we always carry with us, in-app payments eliminate the cumbersome part of processing any payment, making it easy for your customers to pay for your services.

But there is more.

When you discover how easy they make your life, in-app payments will be a key tool in your business.
Here are its advantages:

In-app payments are very convenient because they make the payment process much easier: your customers can pay for their bookings and vouchers directly from their cell phone, anytime, anywhere, just by pressing a button on the device’s screen.

This way, you can also forget about taking care of their requests to pay their monthly payments and reservations.
Your customers will do it for you autonomously thanks to in-app payments.

As you know, after the COVID-19 health alert, it is preferable to make any payment by bank card or telematic payment to avoid contagion.

By paying in-app your customers avoid paying with physical money in your center, which increases their security and that of other users.

Whenever you are about to charge your customers via in-app, TIMP will ask for their consent by default.

But if you already have their prior consent to make any charges for the services they enjoy at your center, you can activate automatic charging (or autopurchase) for them, so that from now on TIMP will launch the charges when appropriate without asking them first, since they already gave you their consent at the beginning.

This allows you to speed up the collection process and avoid delays in payments.

In those cases in which the payment cannot be made normally due to a problem with the customer’s card or cash availability, TIMP will notify you to solve the incident with your payment method, and you will be able to monitor the reason for the error and the status of those failed payments at all times.

Now that you know what they are for and the advantages they bring you, ask our support team how to activate in-app payments in your center.

As always, we are at your disposal in the web chat and in your control panel.
