KADEPAY FOR ART TEACHERS & STUDIOS
Tuesday is kids clay, Thursday is adult watercolor, and Saturday brings a birthday party with twelve eight-year-olds. KadePay keeps class passes, workshop tickets, party deposits and signed release forms together, so you spend less time at the laptop and more time at the easel.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Art teachers wear every hat, from supply buyer to party host to the person mopping the floor at 9 PM. These are the money moments studio owners mention most, and how KadePay helps with each.
A drop-in shows up with a $20 bill while your hands are covered in slip, and you promise yourself you will write it down later.
With KadePay
Hang a printed Pay Direct QR on the studio wall. The student scans it, enters the class price and pays from their phone, and you confirm the payment in Transactions once your hands are clean.
Ways to get paidThe art class punch card was supposed to last eight weeks, and now neither of you remembers how many classes were used.
With KadePay
Sell an 8-class pass as a package and record each class as it is used. The student sees the same count you do, and the pass never goes through the wash.
Packages and sessionsA parent booked a Saturday clay party, the guest list grew from eight to fourteen, and the deposit arrived as a Venmo with no note.
With KadePay
Take a paint party deposit through a fixed-amount link with questions for the date and the birthday child's name. After the party, send a bill for the balance at the final headcount.
Payment links and QR codesClay, glaze and kiln time cost real money, but a $25 supply charge is easy to forget when you bill a six-week session.
With KadePay
Send the art supply fee as its own fixed-amount link with the student's name as a question, so materials are paid before the first class instead of halfway through the term.
Payment links and QR codesYou want to post the class mural online, but the photo release is on paper in a folder somewhere under the drying rack.
With KadePay
Send an art class registration form with emergency contacts, material sensitivities and a photo release, signed by the parent on their phone and kept with the student profile.
Forms and signaturesHow it fits your week
A parent taps the Flex Link in your social bio, completes the registration form for the fall session and pays for the session or an 8-class pass.
Adults buy art workshop tickets for a Friday watercolor night, and you scan each QR code at the door. Tickets do not cap sales, so you watch the count yourself.
Students request private art lessons at the times you offer. You confirm the ones that fit around classes, and automatic reminders go out before each one.
Collect the deposit when you confirm the date, then bill the balance after the party. Parents can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or a bank transfer.
Upload photos of finished pieces to a Gallery folder on each student profile and share it read-only with the parent, a small portfolio that grows every term.
Every way your students pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same student record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for art classes
Kids art class payments come in every shape: a fall session paid up front, an eight-class pass, a $20 drop-in, a supply charge and a birthday party deposit. Most art teachers juggle those with cash, Venmo and a notebook. An art studio payment app is worth it when every one of those has a home.
For an art studio birthday party, the deposit protects your Saturday. Ask for it when you confirm the date, write the headcount and cleanup rules into a short policy the parent signs, and send the balance after the party, once you know how many kids actually painted.
Workshops for adults work better as tickets. A $45 watercolor night or a $65 wheel-throwing intro sells through one link, each guest gets a QR code, and you check them in at the door. Tickets do not assign seats or stop at a number, so keep an eye on sales for a small room.
Portfolio coaching and one-on-one sessions fit the appointment calendar instead. Students request a time, you confirm it, and you either charge after the lesson or count it from a package they bought.
CLEAR ANSWERS
The best fit handles each way you sell: sessions, passes, drop-ins, tickets and party deposits. KadePay covers all of them, plus signed registration and release forms, so a small studio can run classes and paint nights without stitching several tools together.
Many studios ask for a flat amount, such as $100, to hold the date, and bill the balance after the party. In KadePay you create a fixed-amount deposit link, ask for the party date and child's name on it, and send the balance as a bill.
Yes. Create a package such as 8 classes for $200 and share the link. Each time the student comes, record one class from the package. A pass does not hold a place in a particular class, so students still tell you which day they plan to come.
No. Registration forms, payment links and tickets do not stop at a set class size, so keep your own roster and stop sharing the link once a class is full. KadePay focuses on payments, forms, passes and booking requests.
Yes. Create a fixed-amount link for the supply fee, ask for the student's name and session on it, and send it with your welcome message. Each payment appears in your transactions with those answers, so you can see who has paid for clay and paint.
Pay-As-You-Go is $0 per month to start, with payment and usage fees on top. Monthly recurring class billing and team logins need Team at $10 or Pro at $35 per month, and the pricing page explains both.
