Event catering & SMS deposits focus
For event caterers, each date combines menu design, purchasing and staff. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the menu and date are agreed: the client pays from their phone, the event is secured and you protect your margin. For higher‑budget events (weddings, corporate dinners, multi‑day events), 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 automatic PDF receipts for each payment. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or laptop is enough to create links for deposits, milestones and add‑ons. Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event, which makes accounting and communication easier. Your own contract conditions remain the base: PayLinker handles notifications, payment collection and history so you always know what has been paid.
