The pitch in 40 seconds.

Everything between
“great work” and “paid.”

Every screen below is the real product, running in the demo with fake money. Tap through it yourself.

Your brand.
Every way to pay.

Clients land on a pay page with your logo, your colors and your domain, like pay.yourstudio.com. Card, Apple Pay, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, bank or crypto. Nobody hears “do you take…?” again.

Just say it.

Type or talk the invoice the way you'd text it. Paylock fills in the client, the next invoice number, the amount, the due date and the reminders, and flags anything missing. Nothing sends until you tap approve.

A backstage pass
for every client.

Each client gets a private, passcode-locked portal: the plan, the timeline, edits, the shoot picker, deliveries and payments in one link. It's the kind of client experience people tell their friends about.

The crew
gets paid too.

Your second shooter, editor and gaffer each get their own phone link. They send invoices, you approve and schedule payday, they see “payment coming in.” Every payout lands in your books, ready for 1099s.

  • Crew invoices in, one tap to approve
  • Payday schedule and paid receipts
  • 1099 totals tracked automatically

Run the business
from one board.

Who owes you, what came in, what's due this week and who opened your link. Reminders go out by text and email in your brand. Books, reviews and tips live in the same place.

  • Automatic reminders, branded texts and emails
  • Books by month, goals, and where the money came from
  • Reviews and tips right on the paid page

Built so you can trust it.

01

Money never touches us

Clients pay straight into your own Square, Stripe or bank. Paylock never holds your funds.

02

No card numbers stored

Card details stay with the processor. Tax info is kept to the last 4 digits only.

03

Every change logged

Team logins with roles, and an activity log of who did what and when.

04

Backed up nightly

Your invoices, clients and books are backed up every night.

05

Your domain, your name

Clients see your business, not ours. “Powered by Paylock” stays small.

06

Your data is yours

Export your clients, invoices and books whenever you want.

Not a mockup.
It's live.
