Practical guide
Development work is usually paid in deposits, milestones, retainers, or change requests. The payment should connect to scope, not just to a wallet address.
Crypto can work well for Web3 clients, international startups, and businesses that already pay vendors in stablecoins.
Live
A developer invoice unlocks time and priority. If the payment is unclear, the team may start a sprint without knowing which milestone was actually funded.
The client also needs a payment page that matches the proposal or invoice they approved.
Project milestones need labels
Attach sprint, phase, ticket, or statement-of-work references.
Deposits protect capacity
Teams can reserve developer time after payment status is clear.
Remote clients fit
Stablecoins can reduce wire delays for global work.
Use links for deposits and milestones. For productized agencies, API-created invoices can connect payments to client portals or internal tools.
Settlement can route directly to the merchant wallet while the client sees a professional branded checkout.
Retainer links
Collect monthly support or maintenance retainers.
Milestone status
Use paid state before opening the next phase.
Custom-domain checkout
Keep the payment experience under the agency brand.
Scenario
Development projects usually move in phases: discovery, deposit, milestone, launch, and support. MakePay lets an agency or IT shop send a branded invoice link for each phase, with the project reference visible and paid status before work starts or the next deliverable is released.
Proof layer
Setup path
Launch the first flow, prove the status handoff, then expand into nearby payment moments once the team trusts the signal.
Agree deposit, milestone, or retainer terms.
Include project reference and payment purpose.
Open the sprint, support block, or delivery step after payment is clear.
Keep payment history with client and project records.
