Bookings and payments for picture framers

A frame is a job you take in, not a meeting you sit through. Soopaspace lets a customer pay for a set job upfront, quote the bespoke pieces with a deposit, and keep the money sorted before the work is collected.

Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

A set job, paid when it is brought in

Plenty of framing has a clear price: a standard print mounted and framed, a photo in a ready moulding, a certificate behind glass. You list the job at a set price, the customer pays upfront when they bring the piece in, and they collect it when it is ready. There is no appointment and nothing sits in a diary, which is how a brought-in job should work.

  • List a standard frame at a set price
  • The customer pays upfront when they bring it in
  • No appointment, nothing in the diary
  • They collect the work when it is ready

The bespoke pieces, quoted with a deposit

A large canvas, conservation mounting or a hand-finished moulding is not a price off a list. The customer enquires from your page, you talk through the mount, the moulding and the glass and send a clear quote, and a card deposit on it holds the work. The balance is invoiced when the piece is ready.

  • A clear quote for mount, moulding and glass
  • A card deposit holds the work
  • The balance invoiced when it is ready
  • Paid and overdue tracked for you

The money sorted before collection

A bespoke frame can take days and use materials cut to order, so the payment should be settled, not left to collection day. Taken upfront on a set job, or invoiced and paid by card on a quoted one, it is handled for you, with paid, part-paid and overdue tracked and a polite reminder for anyone slow.

  • Paid upfront, or invoiced and paid by card
  • Paid, part-paid and overdue tracked
  • A polite reminder chases the slow payers
  • No awkward money talk at collection

Common questions

How do I charge for a standard frame?
As an on-demand job. You list it at a set price, the customer pays upfront when they bring the piece in, and they collect it when it is ready. No appointment is booked.
Can I take a deposit on a bespoke piece?
Yes. The customer enquires, you send a quote for the mount, moulding and glass, and a card deposit on it holds the work. The balance is invoiced when the piece is ready.
