How to grow your payments app with 3D printing services

3D printing services turn files into real objects: replacement parts, prototypes for small businesses and engineers, architectural models, cosplay props, school projects and personalised gifts. Most jobs are quoted one by one, based on size, material and time, and many services ask for payment before they start printing. Some also sell ready-made prints online or at markets. A payments app that turns each quote into a payment link, takes repeat orders easily and keeps a clear record can win print services, and every customer who pays them sees your app.

Turn every quote into a payment link
Sending a payment link with each quote means a customer can accept and pay in one step, so the printer can start the job straight away.

Make repeat orders easy
Makers and small businesses often reorder the same parts. A saved order they can pay for in a tap keeps them coming back and saves everyone time.
Grow through makers and print shops
3D printing services work alongside makers, online sellers and print shops. When those businesses take payments through your app, each service can bring more of them onto it.
