Payments for urgent repairs and planned trade work
PayLinker helps tradespeople request payment for an agreed call-out, diagnosis, repair or planned job without a card terminal. The right timing depends on the work and customer agreement.
Examples for this activity
- A plumber charges an agreed diagnostic before deciding on repair work.
- A flooring contractor requests an agreed first amount before ordering materials.
Payment steps
Clarify the work and the amount due. Send a payment link by SMS or email at the agreed time. Check confirmed payment and request accepted further work separately.
A question before you start
Does every emergency require payment before travel?
No. The professional and client agree on the charge and its timing for the intervention.
