Retainer, advisory deposit, workshop fee, discovery session, or milestone invoice.
Consulting and B2B RetainersPayments to your wallet.
Collect consulting retainers, strategy workshops, audits, and milestone invoices before calendar time or advisory work is committed.
Collect B2B retainers and advisory deposits before calendars, analysis, or delivery teams are committed.
Consulting work sells expertise, availability, and trust. MakePay gives the consultant a payment link for the exact retainer, workshop, audit, or milestone, so the client can pay from a wallet and the team can start only after the invoice status is clear.
Consulting payments usually buy time, attention, and priority. A retainer or deposit should be paid before the team blocks calendars or starts discovery.
Crypto can fit international clients, Web3 businesses, and buyers who prefer stablecoin treasury payments.
MakePay gives consultants a branded payment link for retainers, strategy sessions, project deposits, or milestone invoices.

01 / Practical guide
Why retainers need a clean commitment signal
A consulting team often commits calendar time before deliverables exist. Payment status is the signal that the client is serious and the team can reserve capacity.
A branded payment request keeps the professional tone stronger than sending wallet instructions in chat.
Capacity is the product
Paid status protects calendar and specialist allocation.
Scope needs context
The request should match the engagement or milestone.
Global B2B fits
Stablecoin payments can reduce wire timing friction.
