FAQ express

What deposit should I request for a swim cycle?

A flat amount at registration (often 20–30% of the total) works well to stabilize capacity and limit withdrawals.

Can I request the balance before the 2nd session?

Yes: it is common for cycles and camps, to avoid last-minute payments at reception.

And for a dive outing, when should I collect?

Deposit at booking, then balance requested 24–48h before: you lock the supervision and reduce late cancellations.

Are installments useful?

Yes for higher-priced training and packs: you facilitate the decision while keeping receipts and clear tracking.

Clear point: booking

Filling a pool starts with confirmed registrations

Between capacity, tight schedules and logistics (equipment, instructors, safety), a late cancellation quickly disrupts the plan. With PayLinker, you request an SMS/email deposit at registration: the spot is confirmed, the group is more stable and you avoid half-full sessions.

Cycles, camps, training: better-framed amounts

Children cycles, holiday camps, or dive training represent a higher budget. You can offer installment payments via Stripe on packs and training: the client spreads the cost, and you keep clear tracking of payments. After each payment, an automatic PDF receipt is generated.

Two practical priced examples

  • 8-class cycle (children) at €240: €60 deposit at registration, €180 balance requested before the 2nd session.
  • Supervised dive outing at €170: €50 deposit to reserve the spot and supervision, €120 balance requested 48h before.
