Get paid faster.
Without the follow-up.
Spatiko is the invoicing back office your delivery tool never had — built into the same platform that books the shoot and delivers the photos. Checkout pays straight into your own Stripe or Square account.
No Spatiko fee per transaction · Payments land in your own account
Three ways to collect.
You choose.
Payment timing is set per order form — or overridden for a specific client. Spatiko enforces it on every booking automatically.
Upfront — pay to book
The booking isn't confirmed until the payment clears. You never drive to a property hoping to get paid.
Payment at booking
On delivery — pay to download
Clients browse the full gallery the moment you deliver. Downloads stay locked until the order is paid — then everything unlocks at once.
Full gallery preview · Downloads unlock when the order is paid
The paywall, in depthInvoice — on net terms
For brokerages and repeat clients. A numbered invoice goes out with a pay link and net 15, 30, 45, or 60 terms — automatic reminders handle the rest.
Real invoices,
not just receipts.
Every invoice starts as a draft built from the order — services, travel fee, tax already filled in, nothing re-typed from a second app. Tweak what you like: descriptions, quantities, per-line discounts, which lines are taxable, custom lines, an invoice-level discount, a PO number and a memo. Then issue it: the invoice gets a permanent sequential number, and the lines and totals freeze.
- Sequential numbers like INV-2026-0042 — never reused, never edited after issue
- Revisions, voids, credit notes, and per-payment receipts keep a clean paper trail
- A full activity timeline on every invoice — drafted, issued, sent, reminded, paid
- Your prefix and footer note — payment terms or a thank-you — on every PDF
When tax season comes, your accountant gets clean paper — not a shoebox of payment notifications.
How invoicing works, step by step
Bill anyone on the order.
Or everyone.
Real estate jobs rarely involve exactly one person. Two co-agents split the shoot, the brokerage's office pays the balance, and the seller just wants the photos. Spatiko puts them all on one order — each with a role, their own link, and their own invoice for their share.
Margaret gets the gallery — and never sees a price.
Every payer sees only their own bill
Each person's link shows their own invoice, payments, and receipt — a co-agent never sees the other's billing, and the seller sees no pricing at all.
Invoice the brokerage directly
Add the office manager as a billing contact and make them the payer. Their link opens billing only — never the gallery — and invoice emails carry your client's cc and bcc addresses for accounts payable.
Everyone still gets their photos
Delivery and billing are separate. Each person set to receive the delivery gets their own link when you deliver — nobody waits on someone else to forward it.
Billing three people on one shoot shouldn't be three jobs.

Balance on delivery.
Big shoot, new client, or a date worth protecting? Raise a deposit invoice for a percentage of the order — 50% by default — or a fixed amount. When the work is done, the balance invoice bills exactly what no invoice covers yet.
- Scope grew after billing? An upcharge invoice covers only the new items
- The order tracks quoted vs. billed vs. unbilled at all times
- Warnings before you over-bill — and when something is left unbilled

It chases the money
so you don't have to.
Once an invoice is sent and past due, Spatiko follows up on your schedule — by default on the due date, then 7 and 14 days after, with up to six reminder points of your choosing. Reminders to the same payer on the same order fold into one polite email listing everything due. They stop the moment the invoice is paid.
- Auto-issue the invoice when you deliver — one setting, zero manual sends
- Pause reminders per invoice with one switch for the client you'd rather call
- Overdue invoices surface with outstanding and overdue totals on one list — export it all to CSV

Stacked rates, each on its own line
Tax that prints the way
your accountant expects.
Configure named tax rates and they stack — GST plus QST, state plus county — each printed as its own labelled line with its registration number. Override the rates per order, mark an order tax-exempt, or flag individual lines as non-taxable. Prefer tax-inclusive prices? There's a display option for that.
Tax is snapshotted onto the issued document and never recomputed. And to be clear: Spatiko applies the rates you configure — it never decides what you owe.

However they pay,
it all lands in one place.
Connect Stripe or Square — one active at a time. Stripe checkout leads with one-tap wallets — Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, PayPal — before the card form; Square runs card payments through your own Square account. The brokerage still mails checks? Record cash, check, bank transfer, Venmo, or Zelle against the invoice and everything updates the same — including unlocking a pay-to-download gallery.

Quick answers about invoicing and payments in Spatiko.
No. There's no Spatiko fee per transaction — payments go straight to your own Stripe or Square account, and Spatiko never holds your money. You pay only your processor's standard rate and your Spatiko subscription.
They get a payment link — in the booking confirmation, the invoice email, or the delivery gallery. Checkout takes card plus one-tap wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and PayPal, depending on their device and your connected account. No client account or login needed.
Yes. Set a form's payment timing to upfront and the booking isn't confirmed until the payment clears — you never drive to a property for free. Timing is set per order form, and you can override it per client.
Not directly — issuing freezes the lines and totals so the numbered document never changes under anyone's feet. Instead, use Revise: it clones the invoice into an editable draft, and issuing the revision voids the original with both linked in a revision chain. If money has already moved, issue a credit note instead.
No problem. Record cash, check, bank transfer, or external payments like Venmo and Zelle against any invoice, with a reference number and partial amounts supported. The client can get an emailed receipt, and a recorded payment unlocks pay-to-download galleries exactly like a card payment.
Yes. Add the brokerage's office manager or bookkeeper to the order as a billing contact and make them the payer of the invoice. With delivery and portal access off, their link opens only the order's billing — invoices and payments, never the gallery — and every invoice email carries the cc and bcc addresses on their client record, so accounts payable stays in the loop.
Yes. Anyone on the order can be the payer of their own invoice, so two co-listing agents can each be billed their share of the same shoot. Each agent sees only their own invoice, their own payments, and their own receipt — never the other's.
Yes. Create a deposit invoice for a percentage of the order — 50% by default — or a fixed amount, then a balance invoice later that bills exactly what's still unbilled. The order tracks quoted versus billed and warns you before you over-bill.
Yes. Once an invoice is sent and past due, reminders go out on your own schedule — by default on the due date, then 7 and 14 days after. Reminders to the same payer on the same order fold into one polite email listing everything due, they stop the instant the invoice is paid, and you can pause them per invoice.
Yes. Clients browse the full delivery gallery as soon as you deliver, but downloads — photos, video, files, and the marketing kit — stay locked until the whole order is paid. One payment unlocks everything at once, whether it's a card payment or one you recorded manually.
You configure named tax rates and they stack — GST plus QST, or state plus county — each printed as its own line with its registration number. Orders can override the rates or be marked tax-exempt, individual lines can be non-taxable, and tax is snapshotted onto the issued document. Spatiko applies the rates you configure; it never decides what you owe.
Yes. Spatiko supports both Stripe and Square as card processors — connect either (or both) and choose which one is active. Clients pay by card through whichever processor you've activated, and everything else on the invoice works the same.
Yes. When a client pays for a delivered shoot, the checkout offers preset tip amounts or a custom amount of their choosing. The tip rides the same payment and lands in your account with the rest.
Yes. Promo codes can be a percentage or a fixed amount, with start and end dates, redemption caps, a per-customer limit, and a minimum order size. Separately, you can discount any order directly, or apply per-line and invoice-level discounts while drafting an invoice.
Yes. Spatiko imports your client list and your order history from CSV files, and there are dedicated migration guides for Aryeo and HD Photo Hub. Start with the moving-to-Spatiko guide for the full walkthrough.
