Frequently asked questions
Can I take a deposit and bill the balance later?
Yes. Send an invoice for the deposit when the proposal is accepted, then invoice the balance after the event. Smagle tracks what has been paid against the total, and every invoice carries a pay link.
Does it handle contracts?
Yes. The Contracts plugin is included for event businesses: send a contract with the proposal, collect an e-signature, and keep everything attached to the event in the client portal.
What happens when a client doesn’t pay after the event?
The AI Business Manager notices the invoice is late, drafts a polite reminder with a pay link, and keeps following up until the money lands. You approve every message before it goes out.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan covers one user with unlimited events, clients, and invoices, plus the AI Business Manager — and Smagle takes 2% only when it collects a late invoice for you by card; on-time payments are free. The $29/mo Flat plan adds unlimited users and 0% on everything. No credit card required to start.
