Not every business needs a full card payment platform. Sometimes you just need a link. That's exactly why we built Links Only: SplitSum's newest, most accessible tier.

If you're a small business owner managing a handful of contractors, Links Only strips everything back to the essentials: payment links, up to 5 contractors, and zero complexity. No unnecessary features. No bloated dashboards. Just splitting payment links.

What Is Links Only?

Links Only is SplitSum's entry-level tier, purpose-built for small studios who work with independent contractors and need a frictionless way to split payments.

Here's what you get:

  • Payment links only: generate unlimited secure payment links that split with none, 1 or multiple contractors
  • Up to 5 contractors: perfect for lean teams and growing businesses
  • SplitSum's trusted infrastructure: the same secure, reliable platform under the hood: Stripe

Why We Built It

We kept hearing the same thing from small studios: "I don't need a card reader. I just need links for deposits." 

The reality is that a lot of studios like tattoo shops, simply will not ever fully take card payments. They prefer to let clients pay deposits online and require cash in store. And while, personally at my own shop, I prefer to let the client have multiple options, I understand this is the way a lot of studios operate.

Links Only is our answer to these studios. A nice affordable plan so that you can still get the benefit of splitting those deposits payments, without the extra stuff.

Who Is Links Only For?

Links Only is the ideal fit if you:

  • Run a small cash-only studio
  • Want a way to split deposit payments without a full platform setup
  • Are just getting started with splitting contractor payments and want to keep things simple

And if your business grows or you decide to accept card payment in store? Upgrading to a higher SplitSum tier is seamless: your data, your contractors, your history all comes with you.
