How to grow your payments app with calligraphers and hand letterers

- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Calligraphers and hand letterers address wedding envelopes, write place cards, seating plans and signs, personalise gifts live at shop and brand events, and run beginner workshops. Most jobs start with a deposit to book the date or the order, with the balance due before the finished work is sent or on the day of an event. Workshops are usually paid up front. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, takes workshop bookings and keeps a clear record can win calligraphers, and every client who pays them sees your app.

Send deposit and balance links
A payment link to book and another before the finished work is sent means couples and clients can pay from their phone, and the calligrapher starts only once the date is secured.

Take workshop bookings with payment
A booking link that takes payment up front fills workshop seats, cuts no-shows and makes it easy to sell gift places.
Grow through wedding and design businesses
Calligraphers work alongside wedding stationers, designers and craft teachers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each calligrapher can bring more of them onto it.
