Terms, then payment
The customer sees what has been agreed before a card screen appears, so the money and the promise arrive in the same moment.
Contracts
Agree the terms and take the payment.
Send your customer an agreement by email. They read what was promised, accept it, and pay in the same step — a deposit to hold the booking, or the whole amount before you begin.

One step, not three
The paperwork and the payment together
Most jobs start with a conversation about what is included, then a wait for the deposit. A contract folds those into a single email your customer can act on.
Deposit or the full amount
Ask for part of it to hold a booking and the rest later, or take everything up front when the job is small or the materials are bought in advance.
Delivered by email
It goes to the address you already have for them. Nothing to print, nothing to scan back, and nothing for them to install.
Built for booked work
Fit-outs, photo shoots, events, repairs, design projects — any job where the details are settled before the first day of work.
Tracked like every other sale
The payment sits in the same dashboard as your links, codes, subscriptions, and store orders, and pays out to the same bank account.
Your name on it
Receipts and emails go out under your business. On Brand and Pro they carry your own logo and colours as well.
Who it suits
When the details are agreed before the work starts
If you quote a job, book a date, and buy materials before you are paid, the deposit is the part that keeps you safe. A contract makes agreeing to it the same action as paying it.
- Trades and fit-outsHold the dates with a deposit and invoice the balance at handover.
- Photographers and creativesPut usage, delivery, and the fee in the same place.
- Events and venuesTake a booking fee the moment the date is confirmed.
- Consultants and studiosSet out the scope so extra work is a new conversation.

FAQ
Contract questions
An agreement and a payment in one. You write out the terms, send it by email, and the customer reviews it, agrees to it, and pays by card without leaving the page.
Yes. Ask for a deposit to hold a booking and collect the rest later, or take the full amount up front. Your dashboard shows what has been collected against the agreed total.
No. The agreement arrives in their inbox and opens in a browser. They read it, accept it, and pay with a card — nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.
Services and custom work — anything where the scope, the dates, and the price are settled before the job starts. If you are selling something off the shelf instead, a payment link or your online store is the quicker route.
