Milestone Pay Link
Multi-stage payment links for one-off equipment or cross-border deals
- Problem
- Selling a used machine overseas turned into stages: inspection fee, deposit, repairs, freight, and final balance over weeks. FX added friction on top. Freelancers and micro-sellers have no fitting tool; they resort to ordinary payment links that assume one-time payment.
- Solution
- A payment link generator for single complex transactions: seller defines multiple payment stages (deposit, inspection, freight, balance), each with its own amount and condition. Buyer pays per stage in one link, and the system tracks and reminds. Simple FX notes included.
- Users
- Used equipment sellers, cross-border micro-sellers, freelancers who need staged payments
- MVP
- Create milestone payment plan; generate buyer link; per-stage payment (Stripe/PayPal); status tracking and email reminders; export transaction records.
- Revenue
- Small per-transaction fee, or monthly subscription for unlimited; partnership with escrow services.
- Why now
- Cross-border used-goods and indie seller transactions are growing, but payment tools still assume lump sum. Clear gap for indie developers.
