Wine bar / wine shop: SMS deposits, tastings and private events

In wine bars and tasting‑focused wine shops, your evenings and events rely on serious bookings. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link for each tasting, private evening or group booking: your customers pay from their phone, the date is secured and you can plan bottles, stock and staff with confidence. For premium boxes, tasting menus or corporate evenings, you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. You are paid out by Stripe immediately to your connected Stripe account in PayLinker, while clients spread the cost across several instalments, which helps them commit to higher‑ticket experiences. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or computer is enough to create links for deposits, balances and options (food pairings, extra bottles, gift boxes). Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event or customer, making it easier to track your bookings and receipts. Your own booking rules remain in place: you decide how you handle postponements, cancellations or non‑refunded deposits, while PayLinker handles notifications, payment collection and history.
