How to start a payments app for photographers and videographers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Photographers and videographers take deposits to hold a date, send balances before the shoot and sell prints or extra edits afterwards. A payments app built for them, under your own brand, can handle all of it with links and invoices, and you can offer it to creatives across a region or community.
What photographers need
- A deposit link to hold a booking date.
- An invoice for the balance before the shoot.
- Payment links for prints, albums and extra edits.
- An account that keeps business income apart.
Who could launch it
A photography school or collective, a studio hire business, a creative agency or an entrepreneur who knows the photography world.
How to get your first users
Start with photographers you know, show how a deposit link cuts last-minute cancellations, then share it in photography groups and at studio hire spaces.
