Wedding & event catering with SMS deposits
For weddings and large events, catering is one of the biggest budget items. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the date and menu are agreed, then additional payment links for each milestone as the event approaches. You can also offer instalment payments via Stripe for higher‑budget menus, while still being paid out by Stripe immediately to your connected Stripe account with the full amount. Each payment generates an automatic PDF receipt, useful for both couples and corporate clients. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or laptop is enough to create links for deposits, milestones, options and last‑minute additions. Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event, which simplifies your accounting and communication with clients. Your own contract and terms of sale remain the reference: PayLinker handles notifications, payment collection and history, so you know exactly which amounts have been paid at each stage.
