Files unlock on payment

Payment-gated issue

Attach an invoice to a document or a whole set. Files stay locked until the payment clears, then unlock automatically, no reminders, no awkward follow-ups.

The detail

The core of AtelierLab

The old cycle runs backwards: issue the drawings, then chase the fee. AtelierLab flips it. A document must not be previewable or downloadable while the linked payment is anything other than confirmed.

Unlock on verified payment

The moment the gateway confirms payment, the linked set unlocks for your client and your records update on their own. Access is granted on a cryptographically verified confirmation, never on a browser redirect that can be spoofed.

Revoked when it should be

If a payment is refunded or disputed, access is revoked immediately and any signed links are invalidated. A Super Admin can also grant or revoke access manually (for an offline payment, say) with the reason written to the audit log.

In practice

The fee comes first, on its own

Attach an invoice and the drawings stay sealed until the payment clears, then they release themselves. No reminders, no awkward calls, and access that reverses the moment a payment does.

  • Locked until the money is confirmed
  • Unlocks on a verified payment, not a redirect
  • Revoked at once on a refund
BEFORE & AFTER

Off the ledger, onto the workspace

Issue the drawings, then chase the fee for weeks.

The fee clears first; the drawings release themselves.

A polite reminder, then a firmer one, then an awkward call.

Zero reminders, the gate holds until the payment is confirmed.

A refund leaves the files already downloaded and gone.

A refund or chargeback revokes access and invalidates every signed link.

WHAT YOU GET

Built to carry the weight

Locked until it clears

A gated set can't be previewed or downloaded while its payment is anything other than confirmed. The gate is the default, not an afterthought.

Unlocks itself

The gateway confirms the payment and the set opens for your client on its own. No manual toggling, no chasing.

Revokes on refund

A refund or chargeback pulls access back immediately and invalidates any signed links tied to that set.

The override

  • Super Admin grant for offline payments
  • Manual revoke when it's needed

HOW IT WORKS

Three moves, nothing to chase

01

Attach the invoice

Link an invoice to a single document or a whole set. From that moment the files are locked to the client.

02

Client pays

They settle a clean, hosted checkout. Cards, UPI, or netbanking, whatever suits them, no account required.

03

The set unlocks

A verified confirmation from the gateway opens the set and updates your records automatically. You do nothing.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered

Straight answers about payment-gated issue, in plain language.

Ask us anything

No. While the linked payment is anything other than confirmed, the document can't be previewed or downloaded. The gate holds until the money clears.

A cryptographically verified confirmation from the gateway, not a browser redirect. Redirects can be spoofed; a verified server-side confirmation can't, so access is only ever granted on the real thing.

A Super Admin can grant access manually (for an offline or bank payment, say) and the reason is written to the audit log. The same is true for a manual revocation.
