Deposits and balances get muddled
Half paid, a third paid, paid in three parts: keeping the order and the money together is hard.
Fashion and tailoring
Cut the cloth. Get paid before the deadline.
Made-to-order work runs on deposits, balances and dates that cannot move. Payble helps a designer or tailor take the deposit, invoice the rest, keep track of instalments and get the order to the customer.
