Handyman & SMS deposits focus
For handymen and multi‑service businesses, days are often made up of several small jobs. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link before travelling: the customer pays from their phone, you secure the job and avoid moving for nothing. Once the deposit is paid, an automatic PDF receipt is generated. You can then bill the balance for time and materials via a new link, with the same level of traceability and time‑stamped history. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or computer is enough to create links for small jobs, small renovations or troubleshooting. Each payment is linked to a client and job, making accounting and follow‑up easier. You keep your own pricing and conditions: you define how much you ask as a deposit and how you handle cancellations, while PayLinker manages payments and notifications job by job.
