Woodturners make bowls, platters, pens, lamps and other pieces on a lathe, often from local wood. They sell at craft fairs, markets and shows, online and through social media, and many take commissions such as a bowl from a family tree or a set of pieces for a wedding. Some also run beginner courses in their workshop. A payments app that takes card payments at the stall, sends deposit links for commissions and handles course bookings can win these makers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take card payments at fairs and markets
Taking card and phone payments at craft fairs and shows helps woodturners sell bigger pieces, since many buyers carry little cash.

Send deposit links for commissions and courses
A payment link for the deposit on a commission, and payment at the time of booking for course places, mean less chasing and fewer no-shows.
Grow through makers and craft shops
Woodturners share fairs with other makers and buy from craft and hobby shops. One turner on your app can bring the makers around them.
