How Interior Designers Can Simplify the Payment Process for Clients

A look into StudioPay, our new integrated client payments solution created for interior designers

Paying for design services shouldn’t feel like a chore. Yet traditional methods—writing checks, navigating clunky online forms, or splitting large amounts into smaller payments—often make the process slow and stressful. That’s why it’s so important to consider how interior designers can simplify the payment process for clients. StudioPay was built to do exactly that.

Designed specifically for the interior design industry, StudioPay makes it easy for clients to pay quickly and securely, all within the Studio Designer platform. The result? Fewer delays, fewer questions, and a payment experience that feels as professional as your designs.

Designed for Clients, Built for Designers

The payment process is a critical touchpoint in every project. When it’s smooth and stress-free, it enhances your client’s confidence and reinforces your professionalism. With StudioPay, clients receive branded, easy-to-read proposals and invoices with a simple “Pay Now” button. No redirects. No confusing interfaces. Just a clean, modern experience that reflects well on your firm.

Imagine this: your client is traveling and receives your proposal on their phone. They tap once, approve the scope, and pay instantly. No checkbooks. No delays. Just one tap and the project stays on track. That kind of convenience shows exactly how interior designers can simplify the payment process for clients and deliver a polished, white-glove experience.

High Limits, No Workarounds

Interior design projects often involve high-value items and multi-phase payments. Many processors limit transaction size, forcing clients to split payments and creating unnecessary delays.

With StudioPay, clients can pay a $60,000 proposal in full. No wires, no multiple transactions. That single payment is applied to your ledger automatically, letting you place the order that afternoon, confirm vendor timelines, and reassure your client everything is underway. It’s another way interior designers can simplify the payment process for clients and keep projects moving without obstacles.

One Click, Done

StudioPay’s one-click payment feature allows clients to securely store their payment information, so future transactions take only seconds. Whether paying a deposit for custom drapes or finalizing a large furniture order, it’s fast and intuitive. There’s no need to re-enter card numbers or log into external sites.

Your client doesn’t have to call your office or ask how to pay. The instructions are clear. The interface is familiar. They click, pay, and move on with their day. It’s one less friction point and one more reason they’ll refer you.

Secure by Design

In 2022, the interior design industry witnessed a 30% rise in identity takeover and fraud events compared to the previous year. Wire fraud and identity theft are growing threats, and traditional checks can be lost or intercepted. StudioPay protects every transaction with PCI compliance, encryption, and advanced fraud detection through a certified banking network.

And because every payment is tied directly to a specific proposal or invoice in Studio Designer, you eliminate manual entry errors and confusion. Everything is connected, accurate, and secure—making payments easier for clients and safer for your firm.

StudioPay is designed with the unique needs of interior designers in mind, making the process of collecting payments as effortless and efficient as possible for you and your clients. With one-click payments, high-volume transaction capabilities, and a secure platform, StudioPay paves the way for a seamless, effortless, and reliable client payment experience.
