Fig. 01One job, end to end — money on the relationship's timelineCodex Ch. 10
Money that remembers who paid it.
Every payment belongs to a relationship. Ask what a customer has paid you across two years and the answer is a lookup, not an archaeology dig through three payment apps.
Idempotent to the bone: every intent carries one idempotency key, so retries cannot double-charge. Webhooks are verified and deduplicated before a single state changes.
02
The flows
F.1
Deposits
Requested the moment a booking is. One intent, one idempotency key — a retry returns the same charge, never a second one. The deposit hardens the booking.
F.2
Invoices
Drafted from the won deal, sent from the relationship, tracked through overdue. Overdue is an event, so the follow-up writes itself instead of waiting on your memory.
F.3
Payment links
A link that takes money anywhere you can paste it — a text, a profile, a paper quote. The payment still lands on the relationship that earned it.
F.4
Payment plans
Split a balance into scheduled charges. Each installment is its own idempotent intent, each one visible on the timeline before it runs.
F.5
Tips
A tip policy, not an awkward ask. Prompted once, at completion, attached to the job — and counted in the payout that follows.
F.6
Instant payouts
Connect onboarding in minutes, not paperwork. Money out the same day the work is done, with the 1% fee itemized — never buried.

One event, five reactions
One deposit lands and five features react — with zero coupling between them.
Engineering codex · Ch. 10A verified, deduplicated webhook translates the charge into one event: deposit.paid. It enters the bloodstream once. Five consumers do the rest. None of them imports another, none of them waits on another, and removing any one changes nothing for the other four.

No-show economics
A deposit is not revenue pulled forward. It is the no-show that never happens.
No-show economics · Library C.4Skin in the game changes behavior. A deposit requested at booking and confirmed on payment means the calendar only holds people who backed their intent with money — and the most expensive thing in your week, the empty chair, stops appearing on it.
The pricing follows the same logic. $0 a month means Pay earns nothing while you earn nothing. The platform takes 1% when money moves — aligned, not extractive.
05
Standalone & composed
Complete alone. Stronger composed.
Alone, Pay is payment links, invoices, and instant payouts — every charge attached to a relationship on the spine. Composed, it becomes the money rail the other modules stand on: Book hardens bookings with deposits, Pipeline's closed-won prompts the invoice, Pulse counts the result.
Without Book, deposits attach to invoices and links — nothing breaks. Without Pipeline, invoices start from the relationship directly. The modules meet only in the bloodstream.

Questions
What are embedded payments?
Embedded payments are payment rails built into the system that runs the work, so every charge attaches to the relationship that earned it. In Vyan Pay, deposits, invoices, payment links, and instant payouts live on one timeline — no separate payment app, no reconciliation.
Q.1What does Vyan Pay cost?
$0 per month, plus 1% of payment volume. No setup fees, no monthly minimum, no contract — Pay earns nothing while you earn nothing, and the 1% is itemized on every payout.
Q.2Can deposits stop no-shows?
Yes. A deposit is requested the moment a booking is made, and the appointment confirms only when it is paid. The calendar holds only people who backed their intent with money — the empty chair stops appearing.
Q.3Is Vyan Pay a HoneyBook alternative for invoicing?
For deposits, invoices, payment links, and payouts, yes. Pay is $0 monthly plus 1% of volume with no contract. Contacts import by CSV, and every charge lands on the relationship's timeline instead of a separate payment app.
Q.4How fast are payouts?
Instant. Payout onboarding takes minutes, not paperwork, and money moves out the same day the work is done — with the 1% platform fee itemized on each payout, never buried.
