Payment links
Payment links for agencies and consultants
Send a link for a deposit, a retainer or a one-off job, and get paid by card or bank transfer, without drafting a full invoice first.
Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.
Get the deposit before the work starts
Agencies and consultants lose weeks waiting for a purchase order or a deposit. A payment link sent the moment the client says yes removes the wait.
In startbuddi, create a link with the amount and currency and send it by email, text or WhatsApp. For ongoing work, a subscribe link sets up a monthly retainer that your payment provider charges on its own.
