Practical guide
Collect charter deposits before reserving crew, vessel time, aircraft slots, or itinerary capacity.
A private charter is high-value and schedule-sensitive. The operator may be blocking a yacht, jet, crew, berth, aircraft slot, or cruise itinerary for one client.
Crypto can fit this audience because clients may pay internationally and expect faster settlement than bank wires.
MakePay can collect booking deposits, balance payments, fuel or provisioning charges, and late itinerary changes through branded links.
Payment examples
Yacht charter deposit
Private jet balance
Cruise cabin upgrade
Crew or provisioning invoice
Why it works
Custom-domain payment pages support high-value trust
Deposit and balance links can match the charter reference
0% merchant fee by default helps on large private invoices
Settlement does not sit in a gateway custody balance
Problems solved
Large card payments create fee and limit friction
Wires can miss charter deadline windows
Generic processor pages look wrong for luxury bookings
Operators need proof before reserving crew or capacity
Guide
Why charter payments need high-trust checkout
The payment confirms more than a reservation. It may trigger crew scheduling, supplier deposits, marina planning, aircraft positioning, or route preparation.
A branded payment page with the right reference is safer than asking a premium client to send funds to a bare address.
Dates are scarce
Paid deposits protect the operator before inventory is held.
Large amounts expose fees
0% merchant fee by default is valuable when invoice sizes are high.
Custom branding matters
Premium clients expect the payment experience to match the service level.

Questions
