Event pastry & SMS deposits focus
For event pastry chefs, each order combines design, tasting and a specific date. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the order is confirmed: the client pays from their phone, the date is secured and you protect your time and ingredient purchases. For premium creations (wedding cakes, large dessert tables, highly customised pastries), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. You are paid out by Stripe immediately to your connected Stripe account (PayLinker never holds the funds), while the client spreads the cost, which helps them commit to more ambitious projects. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone is enough to create links for deposits, balances and options (extra pieces, special decorations, last‑minute additions). Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event and client, making accounting and communication easier. Your own ordering conditions remain in place: PayLinker simply handles notifications, payment collection and history.
