PAPER OR ONLINE
When a printable form is a good fit
Paper suits phone and in-person orders. Store completed copies securely.
A paper form captures one customer's details at a time; an online page keeps reservations in a shared order list.
Free online orders are paid at pickup; sellers can download emails, orders, batches, items, prep lists and discount codes. Stripe payments and automated email-outs are planned paid features, not live yet.
Can this form be used for different kinds of maker commissions?
Yes. It suits crochet, embroidery, woodwork, candles, jewellery and art. Rename the fields to fit the materials and dimensions that matter for your particular commission. Keep the choice with the related customer and product details before confirming.
How should I include reference images?
Write an attachment name or a link in the reference field and keep the image with the customer record. Confirm which image or version the customer approved before work begins.
What does the approval signature confirm?
Use the signature area to record that the customer reviewed the written brief, quote and deadline. Add your own approval terms and change process in the editable document. Keep the choice with the related customer and product details before confirming.
Is this template free to use?
