Pastry workshops & paid bookings focus
In pastry workshops, each seat represents pre‑prepared ingredients, time and equipment. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link for each booking: participants pay from their phone, their seat is secured and you reduce last‑minute cancellations. For premium or multi‑session packs, you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Participants spread the cost, while you are paid out by Stripe immediately to your connected Stripe account, visible in PayLinker. Each payment can generate a automatic PDF receipt, useful for your students and your accounting. Whether you host pastry classes in a bakery, a workshop or a school, you don’t need a terminal: payment links are enough to collect deposits, balances and options (gift vouchers, premium ingredients, extra sessions). Links are time‑stamped and tied to dates and amounts, making it easier to track bookings and payments. PayLinker fits your booking rules: you keep your policy for postponements, cancellations or non‑refunded deposits, while the tool handles payment collection, notifications and history.
