Deposit by SMS: secure your bookings and cut no‑shows
A customer who books without paying any deposit can cancel at the last minute. Result: blocked slot, idle equipment, empty tables or a lost job. With a deposit by SMS, you make sure the customer is genuinely committed and dramatically reduce no‑shows, while keeping the experience simple for them.
With PayLinker, the deposit by SMS relies on a secure payment link sent by SMS: you create the link, send it in a few clicks and your customer pays the deposit from their phone. No terminal to install, no app to download.
💡 For an overview of SMS payments (deposits, balances, instalments), you can also visit the PayLinker homepage.
Why deposits by SMS change the game
- • Filter out low‑commitment bookings.
- • Protect your most profitable time slots.
- • Make your cash flow more predictable.
- • Stay simple for customers (one SMS, one link, one payment).
In practice, deposits by SMS complement your existing processes
- • You keep your own terms and cancellation rules.
- • PayLinker provides the payment link, Stripe processes the payment, you stay in control of the client relationship.
- • Each deposit generates a dated receipt that you can use in accounting or in case of disputes.
How do deposits by SMS work with PayLinker?
The idea is simple: you turn important bookings into firmly committed ones by collecting a remote deposit.
Step 1
Create your deposit link
From your PayLinker dashboard, you choose the deposit amount, the reason (booking, rental, service…) and, when available, enable payment in instalments via Stripe.
Step 2
Send the link by SMS
PayLinker generates a unique SMS payment link that you send to your customer. You can also share it via email or messaging.
Step 3
Customer pays and you’re notified
The customer pays the deposit on a secure Stripe page. You receive a real‑time notification and an automatic receipt is generated for both parties.
Which professionals benefit most from deposits by SMS?
Wherever a time slot, table, piece of equipment or team is booked, deposits by SMS become a useful reflex.
- • Equipment and leisure rentals (jet‑skis, boats, bikes, rooms…).
- • Leisure activities on booking (escape game, karting, activity parks).
- • Restaurants, caterers, wine bars for large tables and events.
- • Coaches, wellness practitioners, photographers, event providers.
- • Concierges and short‑term rental managers.
Concrete examples
- Equipment or leisure rentals: You only block a date and time once the deposit is paid. No more equipment reserved for nothing.
- Caterer or restaurant: Deposit by SMS for large tables, privatisations or weddings, balance paid before or after the event.
- Coach or practitioner: Deposit requested when the appointment is booked, which greatly reduces missed appointments.
