Live music & SMS deposits focus

For live music, each date you confirm is one less date available for other clients. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the gig is agreed: the client pays from their phone, the date is secured and you reduce last‑minute cancellations. For high‑budget performances (full wedding sets, corporate events, festivals), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Clients spread the cost, while Stripe pays the full amount directly to your Stripe account as soon as the payment is accepted with the full amount in PayLinker, with automatic PDF receipts for each payment. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or laptop is enough to create links for deposits, balances and options (extra sets, travel, sound hire). Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event, which makes accounting and communication easier. Your own contract and conditions remain the base: PayLinker handles notifications, payment collection and history so you always know which dates are fully paid.
