Sochely connects people with venues, activities, and event experiences. Glo Invoice powers the billing layer — deposits, balance invoices, and post-event payments — so venues and event providers on Sochely can confirm bookings, collect deposits, and bill the balance with a clean paper trail.
How the workflow works
Send a booking estimate
Itemize venue rental, catering, hours, and add-ons. Send the estimate to the customer for review and digital signature.
Collect a deposit
Require a non-refundable deposit on approval to lock the date. Funds land in your bank account before the event.
Invoice the balance
Send the balance invoice 7-14 days before the event, payable through the portal by card or Apple Pay.
Add post-event extras
Bill add-ons (extra hours, damages, additional services) on a follow-up invoice the day after the event.
Real use cases
Wedding venue deposits
Lock the date with a 50% deposit on signature. Balance invoice goes out automatically two weeks before the event.
Catering per-head invoicing
Adjust headcount after the final RSVP and send an updated invoice with one tap.
Photographer package billing
Tier packages as line items, let the customer pick add-ons, and convert to an invoice on approval.
Activity provider group bookings
Bill group bookings with per-person line items and a single payment link the organizer can forward.

FAQ
Can I take a non-refundable deposit?
Yes. Deposits are configured per estimate (percentage or flat amount) and collected at the moment the customer approves and signs.
Can I send the balance invoice automatically?
Yes. Set up a recurring or scheduled invoice tied to the event date so the balance request goes out on time without manual work.
Can customers sign the contract digitally?
Yes. Estimates include a tap-to-sign field that captures a legally-meaningful signature with a timestamp.
Do I need Sochely to use Glo Invoice?
No. Glo Invoice is independent of Sochely; venues and event providers can use it to bill any customer.
