Stained glass makers design and make new windows and door panels, restore old glass in houses and churches, and sell smaller pieces such as suncatchers and lamps at craft fairs and online. Many also run beginner workshops. Commissions and repairs usually start with a deposit to buy glass and lead, with the balance when the piece is fitted or collected. A payments app that takes deposits by link, takes card payments at fairs and handles workshop bookings can win these makers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take deposits for commissions
A payment link for the deposit lets the maker buy glass and start work as soon as the design is agreed, and a second link gets the balance paid on fitting or collection.

Take payments at fairs and for workshops
Card payments at craft fairs and payment at the time of booking for workshop places help makers sell more and fill their classes.
Grow through makers and artists
Stained glass makers share fairs and open studios with potters, painters and picture framers. One maker on your app can bring the artists around them.
