Pottery studio POS
The pottery studio POS that knows what happens after the sale.
A register rings up a mug. A pottery studio has to remember it for two weeks — who painted it, which kiln it's in, and when to tell them it's ready. StudioConnect was built inside a working paint-your-own-pottery studio to do both.

What pottery studio POS software should do — and StudioConnect does
A live studio board
Every table and every guest, from check-in to checkout. Pieces go on the ticket as they're chosen, with the studio fee, add-ons and finishing.
Checkout that matches the day
Split tickets, studio credit, gift certificates, memberships and money paid ahead for a party — counted once. Groups and schools can finish on an invoice.
Firing tickets and kiln loads
The firing ticket prints at checkout. Pieces sort by kiln lane — bisque, earthenware, stoneware — and load into the kiln that fires them.
Pickup texts that send themselves
Tell guests when it's all ready, or as each part comes ready. Clay that fires twice knows its own way home.
Receipt printers, all of them
Receipts, firing tickets, pickup tickets, drying slips and pull lists print to the right printer at the right location.
More than one location
Switch locations from the top of every page. Each location keeps its own drawer, kilns, settings and printers.
A day with it
- 10:00The drawer opens with a count, and today's parties are already on the board.
- 1:30A birthday party checks in. The deposit they paid ahead is on the ticket before anyone rings anything.
- 4:15Checkout prints the receipt and the firing ticket together.
- 6:00The drawer closes against what StudioConnect already counted — cash, card, credit, gift.
Questions studios ask
Is StudioConnect a replacement for a general POS like Square?
It replaces the register for a creative studio, and it knows the pottery: what was painted, where it is in the kiln, and when it goes home. Card payments run through a payment processor connected to your studio.
Does it work for paint-your-own-pottery studios with parties?
Yes. Parties and classes are booked online, deposits and money paid ahead land on the party-day ticket, and the party page has the guest list, add-ons and the run of the day.
Can I print firing tickets and receipts?
Yes. StudioConnect prints to thermal receipt printers — receipts, firing and pickup tickets, drying slips and pull lists — and you can read any ticket on screen without printing it.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every plan starts with a free trial and no card, or you can try the live demo studio right now without signing up.
