# CollectIt

> CollectIt is the all-in-one platform for pottery painting studios — online booking with deposits, a browser-based point-of-sale till, QR-code collection tracking, and loyalty/CRM tools, built specifically for paint-your-own-pottery studios rather than adapted from generic restaurant or salon booking software.

CollectIt replaces the mix of spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and generic booking tools that pottery studios typically cobble together. It covers the full customer journey: booking a session, taking payment, checking a customer's piece in with a photo, notifying them when it's fired and ready, chasing overdue collections, and running loyalty/marketing campaigns to bring customers back.

## Core modules

- [BookIt](https://www.collectitapp.com/#booking): Online booking with deposits, a live Gantt-style table schedule, courses and workshops with waitlists, takeaway/paint-at-home box hire, a branded booking page, and AI-assisted studio setup.
- [ChargeIt](https://www.collectitapp.com/#pos): Browser-based EPOS till with no card machine required (Stripe payment links sent to the customer's phone), photo-based product buttons, AI invoice import from photographed supplier invoices, gift vouchers, discounts, and sales reporting/cash-up.
- CollectIt (core module): QR self-check-in where customers photograph and log their own piece, a kiln-day gallery of pending pieces, one-tap bulk "ready for collection" notifications with photos, and automated overdue-item chasing.
- CRM & Loyalty: Auto-enrolled digital loyalty/stamp cards, QR-redeemable marketing campaigns, and an AI campaign advisor that recommends which customer segments to target based on real booking data.
