How to grow your payments app with illustrators and graphic designers

- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Illustrators and graphic designers design logos, brand packs, menus, posters, book covers and social media graphics for businesses, and take personal commissions such as portraits and pet drawings. Many also sell prints and stickers online or at markets. Most take a deposit to start, charge the rest before sending the final files and bill extra for more rounds of changes, often for clients they never meet. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote, a final payment link with the proofs and simple links for prints can win these designers, and every client who pays sees your app.

Get paid before the final files
A payment link for the balance, sent with watermarked proofs, means the client pays before downloading the finished artwork.
Grow through creative communities
Designers know printers, sign makers, web designers and other artists at markets and fairs. One designer on your app can introduce many of them.
