Why collect arrhes (and why by SMS)

Arrhes make the commitment tangible at the time of booking. In practice, they reduce last‑minute cancellations and set expectations from day one: a reserved date comes with a payment.

With PayLinker, it stays simple: you send an SMS payment link, the customer pays online and you get instant confirmation (useful for your team and your records).

Arrhes vs deposit: what matters in your process

In real life, it’s less about the label and more about clarity: amount, deadline, and conditions (cancellation, reschedule, refund). PayLinker helps you collect remotely and keep a clean audit trail; your terms remain yours.

If your main goal is reducing no‑shows, this page helps too: deposit by SMS.

Common use cases

  • Short‑term rentals: arrhes at booking.
  • Property: arrhes / admin fees.
  • Events: date locked + options.
  • Premium bookings: stronger commitment.
