For restorers of trading cards & comic books
Run your shop on the system built at a real bench.
Your own order site, client portal, optional waitlist, condition photos, sub-grade assessments, invoices with integrated online payment and automated customer emails, under your own brand. Built by a working restorer, for restorers.
| Stage | Cent. | Surf. | Edges | Corn. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On arrival | 9 | 8 | 8.5 | 8 |
| Projected | 9 | 9.5 | 9.5 | 9 |
Stop running orders out of DMs, spreadsheets and Venmo requests. Benchwork keeps every item, photo, grade and payment in one place, and keeps your customers informed without you typing a word.
Your own order site
Your name, colours and prices. Customers pick services per item, choose mail-in or drop-off and agree to your terms.
Waitlist & invites Pro
Pause new orders when the bench is full. People queue up, and you invite them in batches with a deadline to submit.
Condition photos
Front and back on arrival and departure, auto-sorted to the right item. Your proof if anyone ever questions an item's condition.
Sub-grade assessments
Sub-grades like centering, surface, edges and corners, or one overall grade, on arrival, plus what you project after the work, sent to the customer as a clean report.
Invoices & online payment
Invoice when the work is done, paid by card straight into your own Stripe. Reminders at 7, 14 and 25 days go out on their own.
Every email, automatic
Order confirmed, items received, assessment ready, invoice, paid, shipped. Each one sent from your name with your brand.
Client portal
A client facing portal with order status tracking, shipment tracking and condition photos, to give your clients peace of mind.
