Kids’ entertainment & paid bookings focus

In events, dates are precious and a last‑minute cancellation can cost you a whole weekend. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link for each key service: the client pays in a few seconds, you lock in the date and limit late cancellations. Whether you’re a DJ, photographer, decorator, wedding planner or equipment hire company, the payment link integrates easily into your quotes and confirmations. For larger budgets (full weddings, scenography, sound and light packages, high‑volume furniture hire), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Clients spread their budget, while you receive the full amount immediately on your Stripe account, visible in PayLinker, immediately in PayLinker, with an automatic PDF receipt for each instalment. This reassures both couples and corporate purchasing teams, while clarifying your cashflow. You don’t need a terminal or complex software: PayLinker runs in a browser. You create a link, send it by SMS or email, and each payment is time‑stamped and tied to a project, date and client. The history centralises deposits, instalments and balances, making it easier to track services and follow up when needed. Your own terms and conditions remain the reference for postponements, credits or non‑refunded deposits; PayLinker handles collection and payment notifications. In case of programme changes or date shifts, you can send an adjusted link without losing track of amounts already paid, while keeping clear proof for you and your clients.
