From weddings to brand shoots, wlbr secures your booking deposit and releases the balance when you deliver - so your calendar and your cash flow are both protected.
Clients happily pay a deposit when it's held on trust, securing your date without either side taking on risk.
The balance is released the moment the client approves the gallery or final edit - no awkward follow-ups.
Split large bookings into deposit and balance, each protected in escrow until its stage is met.
Open banking settles in NZD with lower fees than cards and no chargeback risk.

If something goes wrong: either side can raise a dispute. The funds freeze in the trust account - neither side can touch them - while both add evidence. Resolution releases, refunds, or splits the money. Unresolved disputes can escalate to FSCL, an approved independent scheme.
Instant, AI-powered NZD price ranges based on real jobs.
No monthly fees, no lock-in. A flat 1.9% + GST per payment, shown clearly before anyone pays.
