Practical guide
Collect project deposits and milestone payments before materials, crews, or subcontractors are committed.
Construction payments are tied to trust and progress. Deposits, material advances, milestones, and change orders need a clear record before work moves.
Crypto can fit international property owners, high-value renovations, commercial projects, and clients who prefer wallet settlement.
MakePay lets contractors send branded invoice links for deposits, progress payments, and balances with direct merchant wallet settlement.
Payment examples

Why it works
Payment links can carry project and site references
High-value progress invoices avoid card-limit friction
Contractors can confirm payment before ordering materials
Direct settlement helps cash flow for suppliers and labor
Problems solved
Materials should not be ordered on vague payment proof
Clients may be abroad or paying from crypto holdings
Milestones need clean records for both sides
High invoice values make percentage fees painful
Guide
Why construction payments need milestone clarity
A contractor may buy materials, schedule crews, or pay subcontractors after a payment. The request must explain which phase or change order is being funded.
Clear paid status prevents work from starting on vague promises or screenshots.
Materials need deposits
Advance payments protect cash flow before purchasing supplies.
Construction milestones need labels
Foundation, rough-in, finishing, or change order should be clear.
Clients need confidence
A branded link feels more professional than raw wallet instructions.
