Operators running Wedding & Event Planning juggle counter, remote, and recurring revenue in the same week. Your reality on the ground: large deposits and milestone payments handled cleanly, with protection on advance bookings. The usual break points are rigid contracts that punish you in the slow season and high-ticket sales triggering holds, declines, or steep fees. We configure no long-term traps with interchange-plus pricing you can verify, plus invoicing & pay-by-link when you need it.
