Online payments and your Wanderer link: why use them

For many practitioners, the most delicate moment of organising an event is not finding participants: it is handling the "so how do I pay you?" Bank transfers to confirm by hand, cash on the day, messages lost between reminders and confirmations. Wanderer is introducing the option to receive online payments for some practitioners, together with a second, often underrated tool: your personal Wanderer link.

Let's see why both are worth it.

The problem with "we'll sort it out later"

Wanderer's base model remains the expression of interest: whoever wants to join your event shares their interest, and the details — including any contribution — are agreed directly between you. It works well in many contexts, but for a practitioner who runs events often, following payments one by one over chat quickly becomes a job in itself.

Receiving online payments: what changes

For practitioners who already have this option active, participants can pay directly when they sign up for the event, through Gomry. This means:

• Less time chasing confirmations — the payment is already done when the place is confirmed.
• Less ambiguity about who has actually paid, especially for events with many participants.
• A simpler experience for participants, who do not have to handle transfers or cash separately.

We stay honest about what this is not: it is not mandatory, and not every practitioner sees it active on their profile yet — it is being rolled out gradually. Where it is not available, the expression of interest remains the reference path, and it stays a valid option even for those who can already receive online payments.

The second tool: your Wanderer link

Every practitioner has a personal link to their public profile — the page that shows who you are, what you offer, your past events and the reviews of people who took part. It is the link you find behind the share button on your profile.

Sharing it actively changes a lot:

One place to tell your story

Instead of explaining on Instagram or WhatsApp every time what you do and when your next event is, you send a link. Whoever opens it immediately sees disciplines, upcoming events and who you are.

It works outside Wanderer too

You can put it in your social bio, share it in a newsletter, print it on a flyer for an in-person event. The person receiving it does not need a Wanderer account: the profile is public.

A profile you never share is a closed shop window. The link is the key that opens it to people who do not know you yet.

It builds trust before contact

People arriving through your link see the reviews of those who joined your past events. They arrive already knowing something about you, not from zero.

How to start

If you organise events on Wanderer, you will find the button to share your profile directly on your public page. If you have not published an event yet, you can create your first event and start building the history that makes your profile — and your link — useful to whoever receives it.

Conclusion

Receiving online payments reduces friction in running events; sharing your Wanderer link reduces friction in getting known. They are two different levers for the same goal: spending less time on logistics and more time doing what you do best. See how to publish an event on Wanderer to get started.
