Deposits, 4x payments, time‑stamped PDF receipts: PayLinker clarifies the payment side of your wedding planning activity.
Wedding planners & staged payments focus
In events, a booked date is valuable and a last‑minute cancellation can cost you a whole weekend. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link for each key service: the client pays in a few seconds, you lock in the date and reduce late cancellations. Whether you are a DJ, photographer, decorator, wedding planner or equipment hire company, the payment link integrates easily into your quotes and confirmations. For high‑budget projects (full weddings, scenography, sound and light packages, large furniture rentals), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Couples spread their budget, while Stripe pays the full amount directly to your Stripe account as soon as the payment is accepted with the full amount in your Stripe account, visible in PayLinker, with a **receipt (PDF or equivalent) for each payment. You don’t need a terminal or complex software: PayLinker runs in a web browser. You create a link, send it by SMS or email, and each payment is time‑stamped and tied to a project, date and client. The history centralises deposits, instalments and balances, which makes tracking and follow‑up easier. Your own terms and conditions remain the reference for postponements, credits or non‑refunded deposits; PayLinker handles notifications and collection. In case of programme changes or date shifts, you can send an adjusted link without losing track of amounts already paid, while keeping clear proof for you and your clients.
