Reception venues & SMS deposits focus
For private reception venues, each date you reserve is a blocked day that must turn into real revenue. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when a booking is confirmed: the client pays from their phone, the date is secured and you reduce cancellations. For higher budgets (weddings, large corporate events), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Clients spread the cost, while you are paid out by Stripe immediately to your connected Stripe account with the full amount, without managing recurring payments by hand. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or laptop is enough to create links for deposits, balances and additions (extra hours, equipment, options). Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event, which makes accounting and communication easier. Your own terms and conditions remain the base: PayLinker handles notifications, collection and history, so you always know which dates are truly secured.
