Event photographer: SMS deposits and 4x for premium coverage

For event photographers, each date you confirm is one less date in your calendar. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the quote is accepted: the client pays from their phone, the date is secured and you reduce last‑minute cancellations. For premium packages (full‑day coverage, second shooter, albums), 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, visible in PayLinker, with a automatic PDF receipt for each payment. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or laptop is enough to create links for deposits, staged payments and extra services (albums, prints, additional hours). Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to a client and event, which simplifies your accounting and communication. Your own contract and terms remain the base: PayLinker handles notifications, collection and history so you always know which dates and options are fully paid.
