KADEPAY FOR VIDEOGRAPHERS & FILMMAKERS
Wedding films and brand shoots both run in stages: a deposit to hold the date, a payment after the shoot day, the rest before the final cut goes out. KadePay sends each one as a bill or link, keeps signed agreements with the client, and shows what is still open.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Video work stretches over months between the first inquiry and the final export, and money slips through the gaps between shoot day, edit and delivery. Here is where it usually leaks, and how KadePay closes it.
You turned down another wedding for June 7 because this couple said they were in. The videography deposit still has not arrived, and your inbox is quiet.
With KadePay
Send a fixed-amount videography deposit link the same day as the consultation, with your agreement attached to the bill. On Team or Pro, a vanishing bill closes the offer when your hold expires.
Vanishing billsYou paid the second shooter and the drone operator last week. The marketing manager says invoices go through accounts payable and it might be six weeks.
With KadePay
Handle video production invoicing with a KadePay bill that has the signed scope attached, and let reminders follow up for you. Business clients can pay by card or ACH bank transfer from the same link.
Ways to get paidYour contract says the balance is due before the film is delivered. The couple is in Lisbon, the edit is ready, and nobody is answering email.
With KadePay
Set a wedding videographer payment plan at booking: equal installments from a saved card the couple authorized, ending before the wedding. A rush edit fee or extra deliverables go out as a separate bill.
Payment plansThe ceremony start time is in a text, the speeches order is in an email, and the song for the highlight film came through a DM at midnight.
With KadePay
Turn your planning questionnaire into a KadePay form the couple fills in on their phone. Answers, the signed wedding videography contract and shared folders of venue photos stay on the client profile.
Forms and signaturesThe client asked for a vertical cut for social and an extra interview while you were already lit. Nobody wrote it down, and now it is part of the job.
With KadePay
Add the extra deliverables to a new bill before you leave the location, or charge the card the client authorized for future bills. The receipt shows exactly what was added.
Card on fileHow it fits your week
A couple or a brand requests a discovery call from your booking link. You check it, confirm the time, and the call lands on your calendar with their details.
They sign your agreement as a form on their phone and pay the deposit from a link that also asks for the shoot date and location.
A bill after the shoot day, another before delivery, or one payment plan that covers the whole videography payment schedule. Reminders follow up so you do not have to.
The balance is settled before the final cut, so delivery day is just delivery. Extras like a teaser trailer or raw footage go on their own bill.
Every way your clients pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same client record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for videographers
Wedding filmmakers and commercial shooters bill differently, but both wait a long time between the first yes and the final file. The right tools keep that gap from turning into unpaid work: a deposit when the date is held, a payment tied to the shoot, and the rest before delivery.
For weddings, a wedding videography contract and a planning questionnaire do most of the heavy lifting. KadePay keeps both as signed forms on the couple's profile, next to every bill they have paid. A payment plan spreads the balance so the couple is not hit with one large final payment in the same month they pay the caterer.
Brand and event clients care about clean paperwork. Video production invoicing in KadePay means a bill with the scope or shot list attached, sent by email with reminders and payable by card or bank transfer. Your bookkeeper can download transactions instead of piecing together screenshots.
If you want to accept card payments as a videographer at a live event or a filmmaking workshop, Tap to Pay on a compatible phone works after payment setup. Clients who prefer Venmo or Zelle send it from their app, and you record it against their bill with no KadePay fee attached.
CLEAR ANSWERS
The best fit covers inquiries, signed agreements, deposits and the balance without a long setup. KadePay handles booking requests, agreement forms, deposit links, payment plans and add-on bills, and it does not try to host or deliver your films.
Create a fixed-amount link or bill for the deposit your agreement names, attach the agreement and text it to the couple. Questions for the date and venue bring those details in with the payment, and on Team or Pro a vanishing bill can expire when your hold ends.
Yes. You agree on the number of installments with the couple, they authorize an eligible saved method, and KadePay collects each payment on schedule. A plan that ends a few weeks before the wedding keeps the edit and delivery free of payment talk.
Send a separate bill for the rush edit fee, a social cutdown or raw footage the client asked for, or charge a card they authorized for future bills. The client receives a receipt that names each item you added.
No. KadePay does not deliver films, host previews or handle proofing, so keep delivery in the platform you use now. KadePay covers booking requests, agreement forms, deposits, payment plans and bills, plus shared folders for shot lists or venue photos.
Pay-As-You-Go costs $0 per month. Payment and usage fees apply. Team is $10 per month and adds team member access for editors or second shooters, vanishing bills and recurring billing; Pro is $35 per month. See the pricing page for the full comparison.
