Everything you need to run your picture framing business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Framing Consult Slot Control

Offer 20/40/60-minute consults with buffer time so customers can choose mouldings and mounts without colliding with collections. Set different availability for weekdays vs Saturday walk-in pressure.

Drop-off & Collection Appointment Types

Separate bookings for artwork drop-off, finished-piece collection, and “fit to wall” visits. Each booking can include prep notes like “bring the frameable item unrolled” or “allow 10 mins for packaging”.

Deposits for Bespoke Framing Orders

Take a deposit at booking for custom moulding orders or conservation glass, so you’re not left holding expensive stock. Send receipts automatically and keep a clear balance due for collection day.

Quote Notes: Glass, Mount & Moulding Choices

Capture what actually matters: moulding code, mount width, slip, glazing type (standard, UV, museum), and backing method. No more scribbled notes that don’t match what was agreed at the counter.

Automatic Reminders for Approvals & Pick-ups

Reduce “I forgot to collect it” by sending timed reminders and collection instructions. Add a message for approvals when you need the customer to confirm mount colour or glass upgrade before you proceed.

Customer Details That Actually Help

Store contact info plus practical notes: parking/loading needs for large pieces, fragile artwork warnings, and whether they need gift wrap or delivery. It saves time every time they come back in.

The challenges every picture framing faces

Consultations that overrun (and wreck the diary)

A proper framing consult isn’t a haircut. Customers change their mind three times, compare mouldings, and want to see mount combinations in different light. If you book everything as a single “appointment”, one overrun cascades into late collections and a workshop that never gets started.

Drop-offs, collections and “can you just fit it now?”

Framing has multiple touchpoints: artwork drop-off, approval, and collection (sometimes with fitting). Without separate booking types, you end up with people arriving while you’re cutting glass, or expecting same-day turnaround. That’s when mistakes happen — wrong measurements, wrong glass, or damaged art.

Quote-to-order leakage and time-wasters

Customers often shop around with photos and rough sizes, then disappear. You’ve spent time pricing mouldings, mounts and glass, but there’s no commitment. Deposits, expiry dates on quotes, and follow-ups are what turn “just looking” into an actual job on the bench.

Seasonal spikes and deadline-driven work

Christmas gifting, graduation photos, wedding seasons, and local exhibitions create sudden demand. Everyone wants it “by Friday” and you’ve still got drying times, backing, hanging hardware and packaging to do. If your calendar can’t cap bookings or protect workshop blocks, you end up working late and rushing quality.

Built for real picture framing workflows

A typical day in a frame shop starts before the first customer arrives. You’re checking what’s due out this week, which jobs are waiting on moulding delivery, and what needs joining, mounting, glazing and backing. The problem is the day gets chopped up by calls and unexpected walk-ins — and framing work doesn’t like being interrupted halfway through measuring or handling glass. With a booking sys...

Quick Setup

Your picture framing business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

Add Your Framing Appointment Types

Create bookings for framing consultations, artwork drop-offs, collections, and small repairs (re-glaze, re-back, hanger refit). Set realistic durations and add buffer time for packaging and counter chat.

2

Set Deposits, Lead Times and Cut-Offs

Choose which services require a deposit (bespoke framing, conservation glass, large moulding orders). Add lead times for busy periods and a clear cut-off for urgent work so you’re not promising what the workshop can’t deliver.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our picture framing booking system.

Try it free
Can I handle urgent framing jobs for exhibitions or last-minute gifts?

Yes. You can offer a limited number of “urgent” consult or drop-off slots per week, with clear lead times and an optional rush fee. The diary can protect workshop time so urgent work doesn’t wipe out everything else. You can also add a note to the booking asking for the deadline date upfront.

What job types can customers book for in a picture framing shop?

You can set up separate bookings for custom framing consultations, photo framing, art framing, canvas stretching, jersey/shirt framing, re-glazing, and collections. Each type can have its own duration and prep instructions. That way a quick re-back doesn’t take the same slot as a full design consult.

When should I take payment for bespoke framing — deposit or full amount?

Most frame shops take a deposit when the design is agreed, especially if you’re ordering moulding or premium glazing. The system can take a deposit at booking or after the consultation, then collect the balance on collection day. It helps avoid awkward conversations when a customer changes their mind after you’ve ordered materials.

How does it cope with Christmas and other seasonal rush periods?

You can cap the number of consultations per day, block out workshop time, and increase lead times automatically during busy weeks. If you stop taking urgent work after a certain date, you can make that visible in the booking options. Customers get clarity, and you keep control of turnaround.

Can I manage multiple framers or a front-of-house team?

Yes. You can assign availability to different staff, so one person can run consultations while another stays on the bench. You can also separate calendars for the workshop and the counter, which is handy on Saturdays. It reduces double-booking and stops everyone relying on one paper diary.

How do I improve quote-to-booking conversion when customers shop around?

Use booking to turn interest into a commitment: offer a paid consultation or take a small deposit that comes off the final price. You can send a follow-up message with the quote summary and an easy link to book the drop-off. It keeps the momentum while the customer is still deciding.

Can I send customers prep instructions and keep a record of what we agreed?

Yes. Confirmation messages can ask customers to bring the artwork, dimensions, or reference photos, and can explain parking/loading for larger pieces. You can also store notes like moulding code, mount width, and glass type so there’s no confusion later. That reduces rework and protects your time.

Do I have flexible pricing for different frame sizes and glass upgrades?

Yes. You can set starting prices for standard services, then add options like UV glass, museum glass, double mounts, float mounting, or oversized work. If you prefer, you can keep pricing as “from” and use the consultation booking to finalise the exact quote. It’s a better fit for bespoke framing than one fixed price.

Why iBookFast for your picture framing business?

Picture framing is one of those trades where the diary needs to reflect the craft, not just the opening hours. A framing job isn’t a single visit — it’s usually a consultation to agree the design, a drop-off, and then a collection (sometimes with fitting). When you rely on phone calls and casual “pop in anytime”, you end up with the worst mix: the workshop can’t run smoothly, and customers still f...
