Polite Close.

Polite Close · $29/mo

Take a deposit before work starts.

A browser proposal that states the work, the fee, and the deposit — with a button to your own Stripe, PayPal, or ACH link.

$29/mo
Get Polite Close — $29/mo Open the kit How it works

Polar is merchant of record for the kit. Your client pays you on the link you paste.

What it is

Close the job. Collect the deposit. Start.

01

Proposal + edges

From, client, project, numbered deliverables, timeline, fee, payment terms, what is not included, and an approval line. Firm. Short. Adult.

02

Deposit + remaining

Default sample is 50% of a $4,650 fee: $2,325 deposit, $2,325 remaining. Numbers are labeled on the page — not buried in a paragraph.

03

Your pay-link CTA

A button: “Pay deposit — $X.” Href is your own checkout — sample placeholder YOUR_CLIENT_PAY_LINK (Stripe, PayPal, or ACH). Polar is merchant of record only for buying this kit ($29/mo).

Who it is for

People who want money in before the clock starts.

Freelancers and tiny studios who already write a scope and still get stuck waiting on a “yes.” People who want a clear deposit button on the proposal — pointed at their own Stripe, PayPal, or ACH link, not at Trutara Polar.

Who it is not for

  • Not a late-notice chase. Day 1–7–14 packs live in Polite Notice.
  • Not legal advice. Not an MSA, demand letter, or collections product.
  • Not a mailer. It writes the page. The client pays you via the link you paste.

How it works

Fill the work. Show the deposit. Paste your pay link.

  1. Open the kit.

    Browser-only page. A Northline Studio → Harbor & Birch sample loads so you are not staring at empty fields. Edit from, client, deliverables, fee, and deposit %.

  2. Label deposit and remaining.

    Project fee, deposit due now, remaining after deposit. Payment terms state when the balance is due. What is not included stays on the page.

  3. Print / PDF, and point the CTA at your checkout.

    Print or Save as PDF for the signed paper. The on-page deposit button uses YOUR_CLIENT_PAY_LINK — paste your Stripe, PayPal, or ACH URL. Buy Polite Close itself for $29/month on Polar.

Privacy

Proposal data stays in the browser.

There is no Polite Close backend and no API key in this kit. Edits live in localStorage on the computer you opened. Clearing site data deletes them. Keep the PDFs you print. Your client pays on your Stripe, PayPal, or ACH page. Polar is only how you buy Polite Close from Trutara ($29/mo) — not where clients pay you.

Tone

Firm, short, adult.

The proposal does not sell. It states the work, the number, the deposit, and the edges. It does not apologize. It does not threaten.

FAQ

Plain answers.

Is this a late-notice product?
No. Polite Close is deposit-before-work. Late notices live in Polite Notice.
What is YOUR_CLIENT_PAY_LINK?
Sample placeholder on the proposal’s “Pay deposit — $X” button. Replace it with your own Stripe, PayPal, or ACH URL. That is the client’s job deposit — not a Trutara Polar product.
How do I buy Polite Close?
Polite Close is $29/month via Polar. Use the Get Polite Close buttons on this page — Polar Software, Inc. is the merchant of record for the kit subscription only.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a clear proposal with a deposit CTA and an approval line.
Can I print it?
Yes. Use Print / PDF in the kit. US Letter layout; chrome hides on print.
