Frequently asked questions from workshop organisers

How much deposit should I ask for?+

A fixed amount per seat (e.g. €20–€50) depending on the level.

Is 4x really useful?+

Yes for premium or high‑ticket offers; otherwise a classic deposit works well.

Do I need a terminal?+

No, the SMS link is enough.

What if the payment fails?+

You’re notified and can resend a link or adjust the amount.

Tasting workshops & paid bookings focus

In hospitality, a date reserved without a deposit is fragile. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link for each large table, privatisation or catering service: the customer pays from their phone, the booking is confirmed and you protect your margin on ingredients, staff and logistics. For larger events (weddings, corporate buffets, seminars, group brunches), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Clients spread their budget over several instalments, but 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. Each payment can generate a receipt (PDF or equivalent) receipt, useful both for private clients and corporate accounting teams. Whether you work in a dining room, wine bar, foodtruck or as a private chef, you don’t need a terminal: a payment link is enough to collect a deposit, a balance or options (special menus, drinks, extra equipment). Links are time‑stamped and tied to a date and amount, making it easier to track bookings and payments. PayLinker fits your existing booking rules: you keep your own policy for postponements, cancellations or non‑refunded deposits, while the tool handles payment collection, notifications and history. If the number of participants or the menu changes, you can send a new adjusted link and keep a clear record of all payments related to the event.
