Chronly for Creative Services
Hold the date with a deposit, bill by milestone, and get paid before you hand over the files.
You didn't get into this to write invoices.
Creative work has a specific money problem: the scope moves, the client goes quiet, and somehow you're always doing the work before you've seen a dollar. Deposits get skipped because asking is awkward, final payment drifts because the files already shipped and the whole thing is tracked across email, a notes app, and hope.
With Chronly you can
Send a proposal that holds the date
Build a professional quote with your scope, deliverables, and pricing laid out clearly. Your client can approve it online with a single click or you can require a deposit to be paid before the quote is accepted, so the booking is real before you block off the week.
Chronly tracks which quotes are sent, viewed, approved, or expired. No more wondering if they saw it.
Bill by milestone, not by hope
Deposit on booking, balance on delivery or equally across concept, revision, and final. Convert the approved quote into invoices and send them as each stage lands so that the money moves at the same pace as the work.
Keep the whole project in one place
Use Jobs to pull every quote, image, invoice, and payment for a project into a single view. Create a Share Link so your client can see their own project portal instead of digging through a six-week email thread.
Simple, competitive payment processing
Easily accept all modern payment methods
Chronly lets your customers pay securely using major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers directly from invoices and checkouts.
Competitive fixed rates
The same or better fixed rates than major Canadian processors like Stripe, Square, and Moneris — without the heavy markup. With a Chronly subscription, your rates get even better.

Sell prints, packages, and sessions with a link
Not everything is a custom commission. Create a checkout link for a mini-session, a print, a preset pack, or a bundle, then drop it into a DM, a story, or an email.
No storefront to build. No monthly e-commerce bill.
Gear, software, and travel that is tracked as you go
Forward receipts for lenses, subscriptions, prints, and props to your own Chronly attachment inbox straight from your phone. Track the mileage to a shoot or a client meeting.
It all lands ready for tax season instead of living in a folder called "receipts_final_v2".
Present a professional, consistent brand
Your quotes, invoices, and receipts carry your logo, your colours, your typography. For creative businesses this matters more than most as the paperwork is part of the portfolio.
Fits into the tools you already use
Already using accounting software or an existing website? Chronly can integrate with third-party systems to streamline your workflows without disrupting how your business already runs.
