Frequently asked questions

Can I collect the balance before the event?

Yes: send a separate balance request under your own terms. You keep a clear record and a receipt for each confirmed payment.

How should I handle the security deposit?

Create a separate security-deposit request. It is a card authorization, which can be released or captured in whole or in part if needed before expiration.

What if the client adds options?

Create a dedicated options request, separate from the deposit and the balance, with its own receipt after payment.

Use cases (venue, wedding, seminar)

Wedding: deposit after quote approval, balance before the planned date, separate security deposit if required.
Seminar: deposit on agreement, receipt sent to the business customer, balance requested according to the agreed terms.
Options: separate link for cleaning, furniture, security or extra hours.
Key handover: check the paid balance and, when needed, a card-authorized security deposit before expiration.

Recommended flow

After agreeing the rental, create a deposit request and send it by SMS or email.
Once the deposit is paid, confirm the booking according to your own terms.
Send separate requests for selected options and the balance.
If a security deposit is required, create a separate request: the customer authorizes their card, without immediate collection of the guarantee amount.
Before the event or key handover, check confirmed payments and the security-deposit status in PayLinker.
After inspection, release the authorization or capture all or part of it if needed, before expiration.

Venue manager FAQs

What deposit should I ask for?

The amount depends on your terms, season and time to event. PayLinker sends the request but does not set your commercial policy.

Can I ask for the balance later?

Yes, with a separate balance payment request. It is not an automatic schedule: you create and send each request.

How do I add cleaning or furniture?

Create a dedicated request for the relevant option so the receipt and tracking stay separate.

Is the security deposit collected?

No, it is a separate card authorization. It can be released or captured in whole or in part if needed, before expiration.

What should I check before key handover?

The paid deposit, expected balance, added options and, if required, the security-deposit authorization.

Key point: balance

A venue date is confirmed by your terms, then by a payment

When you rent a venue, you may turn away other requests and start preparing the room. With PayLinker, you send a deposit request after the rental has been agreed. The customer pays remotely; you decide, under your own terms, when the booking becomes firm.

Balance, options and security deposit: keep requests separate

The balance can be requested through a second link before the event or key handover. Options such as furniture, cleaning, extra hours or security can also be requested separately for clearer tracking.

If a security deposit is needed, it should not be confused with the rental payment. It is a separate card authorization: the amount is not collected like a deposit. You can later release it or capture all or part of it if necessary, before it expires.
