PlaytoSend a payment link. Keep the payment tied to the work.
Create a hosted payment request for a deposit, milestone, retainer period or final balance without building your own checkout. The buyer sees the service, amount, currency, available payment methods, relevant Playto trust context and a direct support route before authorizing payment.
Keep the service, stage, amount, currency and reference together in a Playto-hosted payment experience.
Send the link by email, message, proposal, invoice or project thread.
Relevant verification, Trust Score signals and a direct Playto support route can sit with the payment.
From project terms to payment in three clear steps.
Payment links are designed for real client work, not anonymous transfers. Keep the request tied to the project context your client already knows.
Build the request
Add the service, amount, currency, stage and useful reference for the payment that is due.
Send the link
Share it in the same place you manage the client relationship, such as email, a project thread or alongside the invoice.
Buyer checks out
The buyer reviews the transaction context, chooses an available payment method, authorizes the payment and receives or can access the appropriate transaction record.
Use a link for the moment money is actually due.
Create separate payment requests around the commercial stages already agreed with your client.
Deposit
Collect an agreed advance and show exactly what the payment secures or covers.
Milestone
Connect the payment to a specific stage, deliverable or review point.
Retainer period
Reference the service period and scope for the amount currently due. Recurring authorization applies where enabled.
Final balance
Request the remaining amount against the final stage or applicable acceptance condition.
More useful than a generic “pay me” link.
Professional-service payments become harder to understand when the payment is separated from the project. Playto keeps the transaction closer to the service, the business identity and the support path.
Service context
Name what the buyer is paying for, the stage, amount, currency and reference instead of sending an unexplained charge request.
Trust context
Selected business verification, Trust Score and payment-backed review signals can appear where Playto has enough relevant evidence to support them.
Direct buyer support
The buyer has a direct Playto route for payment questions, unfamiliar charges, refunds and service-delivery issues.
Transaction record
Payment status, invoice or receipt information, delivery evidence, refunds, disputes and Service Partner settlement can stay connected to the underlying transaction.
A checkout that explains the payment before asking for it.
The buyer should be able to understand the service, the amount, who is performing the work, who is selling the service for the Playto transaction and the available payment options without digging through old messages.
Give each buyer the methods available for that transaction.
Payment-method availability depends on the approved account, buyer location, currency, amount, provider configuration and other applicable conditions.
Cards
For eligible transactions where card acceptance is enabled.
2.5% base
Applicable international, card-type, currency-conversion or account-specific terms can differ.
Wallets
Eligible wallet options can appear where supported for the buyer and transaction.
2.5% base
For enabled checkout wallet transactions. Availability and any separate wallet-provider charges depend on the transaction.
Bank transfers
For eligible buyers who prefer an available bank-transfer route.
0.25% base
For enabled bank-transfer routes. Clearing time, beneficiary details and any separate bank charges depend on the transaction.
The link starts the record. It does not end it.
For service payments, what happens after checkout matters just as much as the payment itself.
Payment status
Authorization, pending status and cleared payment are different events. Check the transaction state before asking the buyer to pay again.
Buyer support
Buyers can contact Playto about payment issues, invoices or receipts, refunds, unfamiliar charges or service-delivery concerns.
Delivery evidence
Relevant scope, delivery records and buyer communications may matter if the transaction later needs review.
Service Partner payout
Buyer payment and Service Partner payout eligibility are separate stages and remain subject to the governing terms.
Clear product boundaries without turning checkout into legal fine print.
Project stages and Review Periods do not create an escrow account or an automatic milestone-release arrangement.
For an approved Merchant of Record transaction, the applicable Buyer Terms, Service Order and other governing documents control the purchase. The payment link presents the request within that relationship.
Clearing, review conditions, reserves, set-off and the applicable payout cycle can affect Service Partner payout timing.
Keep a clear route open when a transaction needs attention.
