SMS deposits, staged payments, automatic receipts: you protect your dates and your revenue.
Venue hire & SMS deposits focus
For venues and rooms, each booking blocks a date that must be honoured. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the date and package are agreed: the client pays from their phone, the booking is secured and you reduce cancellations. For larger events (weddings, seminars, conferences), you can use PayLinker to stage payments across the planning timeline, with an automatic PDF receipt for each payment. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or laptop is enough to create links from your office or on the go. Your own booking conditions remain the reference: PayLinker handles notifications, collection and history so you always know which dates are fully paid.
