How to grow your payments app with bookbinders

Bookbinders repair and rebind old and family books, bind theses and dissertations for students, and make handmade notebooks, journals, guest books and photo albums. Many sell at craft fairs and online, and some run bookbinding workshops. Repairs and commissions often start with a deposit, with the balance on collection or before posting. A payments app that takes deposits by link, takes card payments at fairs and handles workshop bookings can win these makers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits for repairs and commissions
A payment link for the deposit lets the binder buy materials and start work, and a second link gets the balance paid before the book is collected or posted.

Take payments at fairs and for workshops
Card payments at craft fairs and payment at the time of booking for workshop places help binders sell more and fill their classes.
Grow through makers and shops
Bookbinders work alongside picture framers, stationers and wedding stationers. One binder on your app can bring the makers and shops around them.
