Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for art studio owners comparing software in India.
Which business type should an art or pottery studio pick?

Can I run painting and pottery on one account?
Yes. Unlimited classes under one organisation, each with its own instructor, timetable, and fee plan.
How do I record clay, glaze, or canvas charges?
Record one-time material or firing fees alongside regular term fees. They appear in the student's payment history.
Does art studio software support GST receipts?
Every payment can generate a GST-ready receipt shareable on WhatsApp.
