Event videography & SMS deposits focus

For videographers, each project involves shooting and post‑production. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the project and date are agreed: the client pays from their phone, the booking is secured and you reduce last‑minute cancellations. For higher‑budget films (multi‑camera coverage, drone, edited highlights), 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, staged payments and options. Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to a client and project, which makes accounting and communication easier. Your own contract and terms remain the base: PayLinker handles notifications, payment collection and history so you always know which projects are fully paid.
