Secure your lessons and camps

Payment links for lessons, camps and rentals

When a student books a course, camp or rental, you send a payment link by SMS or email. They pay their deposit, you reduce no‑shows and keep a clear, per‑student payment history—even when the weather changes.

A solution tailored to watersports bases

Sailing, kitesurf & camps focus

For watersports bases, weather and last‑minute changes can disrupt your schedule. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when a course, camp or rental is booked: students pay from their phone, bookings are confirmed and fewer slots are wasted. Each payment generates an automatic PDF receipt, which you can attach to student files or use for accounting. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone is enough to create and send links from the harbour or the beach. Your own rules for rescheduling and cancellations remain the base; PayLinker handles notifications, collection and history.
