Ice sculptors carve wedding centrepieces, ice bars and vodka luges, company logos, and live carving shows for parties, hotels and brand launches. Each piece is made to order and has to be delivered on the day, so most jobs start with a deposit to book the date and cover the ice, with the balance due before delivery. Companies and hotels often pay by invoice. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links and makes invoices easy to pay can win ice sculptors, and every client who pays them sees your app.

Send deposit and balance links
A payment link to book and another before delivery means couples and event planners can pay from their phone, and the sculptor only buys and carves the ice once the date is secured.

Get corporate invoices paid sooner
Hotels, venues and brands can pay an invoice from a link in a tap, so sculptors spend less time chasing and get paid closer to the event.
Grow through event businesses
Ice sculptors work alongside caterers, mobile bars and wedding planners at the same events. When those businesses take payments through your app, each sculptor can bring more of them onto it.
