Wedding payment plans and content retainers

Photography billing software

Photography billing software for couples who pay over months and brands that book you every month. A wedding package is split into installments due before the date, businesses on a content retainer subscribe from your portal, and any installment that slips is reminded for you.

Wedding payment plans

After the retainer, split the rest of a $4,800 package into three invoices due in March, June and two weeks before the wedding. Each is paid from a link, and the couple's statement shows what is left.

Invoicing

Content retainers for brands

A restaurant or a realtor that wants fresh photos every month can subscribe to a content retainer online, renewed by card with a receipt each time.

Recurring plans

Installments that slip

If the June payment is late, automatic reminders reach the couple, so you are not texting the bride about money a month before her wedding.

Automatic emails

Cards saved for the plan

Couples who prefer autopay save a card at booking, and each installment is charged automatically once its invoice is sent.

Payments

What is still owed

Installments not yet due and those already late are separated by age, so spring cash flow is easy to plan.
