How can wedding vendors collect deposits and payment plans online?
Wedding vendors collect deposits and payment plans online by sending an invoice that splits the total into a deposit and scheduled installments, with card payment built in. DayOf does this on every plan, including Free: connect Stripe once, send the invoice, and the client pays each installment online with reminders before each due date.
How it works in DayOf
The flow most wedding businesses use:
- Connect Stripe from your dashboard. Payouts go to your own bank account.
- Create the invoice from the client's project, with your package or line items.
- Set the deposit and the installment schedule, for example a retainer now and the balance two weeks before the wedding.
- Send it. The client pays online by card, and each later installment is tracked against the same booking.
- See what is paid and what is due on the client record and in your payments view.
A wedding CRM with Stripe payments built in
Invoices and payment plans are on DayOf Free with no monthly fee. DayOf Business ($34 a month) connects the invoice to proposals and contracts, so a couple can review, sign, and pay the deposit in one sitting.
What to check in any invoicing tool
Before you choose, confirm the parts that cause trouble later:
- Can it split one invoice into a deposit and several installments?
- Does it remind the client before each payment, so you do not have to?
- Is the invoice tied to the booking and the agreement, or a separate tool?
- What are the card processing fees, and who pays them?
