A security deposit helps manage risk: equipment, property, venue, service. With a payment link, you can request an online deposit without a terminal, with time-stamped proof.

How to request a deposit with PayLinker
How it works
SMS example (deposit)
Hi, to finalise the booking, here is the secure link to pay the security deposit: pay.linker/ABC123. Thank you.
Short message, clear link, secure payment.
A deposit sets expectations: it reminds customers there is responsibility (damage, late return, missing items). For professionals, it reduces disputes and grey areas.
With PayLinker, you send a payment link (by SMS or online). The customer pays on a secure Stripe page. You get instant confirmation and an automatic receipt. Your refund and return policy remains yours.
Collect the deposit before handover: bikes, jet-skis, sound gear, tools…
Deposit and booking fee remotely, then balance before arrival if needed.
Deposit for a venue, equipment or service: clear framework before the event.
Depending on your activity, you may combine a security deposit with a booking fee or a down payment. The key is clarity: purpose, amount and terms. These pages help.
