How to grow your payments app with pottery and ceramics studios

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Pottery and ceramics studios run weekly classes, one-off taster sessions and group bookings for birthdays and team days. Many rent studio time and kiln space to members, charge firing fees and sell finished pieces at the studio and at craft fairs. Classes need booking and paying ahead, memberships need regular payments and small fees need collecting without fuss. A payments app that does all of this can win these studios, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Grow through the craft scene

Potters sell at craft fairs and markets alongside other makers, and many buy supplies from craft shops. One studio on your app can introduce the others.
