Take a deposit from a client in another country.
A new client abroad has said yes, and you need the deposit before you start. Send them one link for the exact amount. They pay from their own wallet, and it settles to a wallet you control.
Before you read on: we publish every business type we take and every one we refuse — 28 we take, 11 we refuse.
Check yours in ten secondsThree things get in the way of a deposit from abroad.
A new client, far away, and nothing paid yet
You have never met them, their bank is in another country, and you are about to book time, order materials or turn other work away for them.
A wire for a small deposit costs too much to bother
An international bank transfer for a deposit can take days to arrange and lose part of the amount along the way, so clients put it off and the start date slips.
The client cancels after paying
Plans change. When they do, the question is what the deposit covered and what, if anything, goes back.
One link for the deposit, straight to a wallet you control.
The link asks your client for the deposit you quoted, and nothing more. What comes off is our fee, the one agreed with you in writing, and it is the same whichever country your client is in. Network fees are separate: your client pays them on top of the amount and sees their total before they pay.
Two limits worth knowing, in the same breath. If your own account with us is under review, automatic payouts pause until that is resolved. And if your client pays by card, the payment can be declined, or they can be asked to prove who they are, before the money is sent. That is a payment that doesn't happen, never money taken back from you afterwards.
One deposit, one link.
Send one link for the deposit
Set the exact amount and put your quote or booking number in the description.
Your client pays
From their own crypto wallet, or by card where available. For a card payment, buyer eligibility depends on country, payment method, provider, and compliance checks.
The deposit reaches your wallet
Settlement reaches your wallet after the required network confirmations, in the currency the link was set in. Then you start the work.
How the deposit works in your line of business.
What people ask before taking a deposit from abroad.
The client cancelled after paying the deposit. What happens?
Your own terms decide what the deposit covers and what is owed back. Returning any of it is a payment you send yourself; Zoyn has no refund button. A wallet payment is not reversed by Zoyn after the required network confirmations; a card-funded payment can still be disputed under the provider's own rules.
Can I take the deposit and the balance on one link?
No. Every link is a single payment for one fixed amount. Send one link for the deposit now and a second link for the balance when it is due. Nothing is charged automatically.
What does it cost me?
A percentage of each payment, agreed with you in writing before you go live: crypto payments start at 0.75%, and card payments, if your business can take them, have a separate, higher price. No monthly platform fee and no setup fee. Network fees, and any extra charge for how your customer pays, are separate. Your customer pays them on top of your price and sees their total before they pay.
My client only pays by bank transfer. Is this any use to me?
Keep your bank details on the quote for that client. This is a second way to get paid, not a replacement for your bank. It suits the clients who already hold a crypto wallet, or who would rather pay by card than arrange an international wire.
