Leatherworkers make bags, belts, wallets, dog collars and made-to-order pieces, and many also repair leather goods. They sell at markets and craft fairs, online and through social media, and some run workshops where people make their own wallet or belt. Custom pieces usually need a deposit to buy leather and hardware, with the balance on collection or before posting. A payments app that takes card payments at the stall, sends deposit links and handles workshop bookings can win these makers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take card payments at the stall
Taking card and phone payments at markets and fairs helps leatherworkers make bigger sales, since many buyers carry little cash.

Send deposit links for custom work
A payment link for the deposit lets the maker order leather and start work, and a second link gets the balance paid before posting or collection.
Grow through makers
Leatherworkers share markets with candle makers, jewellers and upholsterers. One maker on your app can bring the stalls around them.
