Appointment Deposits and
Payments at Booking
Require a deposit or full payment on any service, let clients pay through your Stripe, PayPal or Square account when they book, and invoice the balance after the appointment. Online payments are available on the Standard plan and up.
What Is Online Payment Collection at Booking?
Online payment collection at booking means clients pay a deposit or the full service price when they schedule, not after. For example, a salon sets a 50% deposit on a three-hour color service: the client pays it through Stripe at checkout, gets email reminders (plus SMS if they opt in), and receives an invoice for the remaining balance after the visit, which they pay from a link.
SchedulingKit covers the payments tied to appointments: deposits, full prepayment, balance and manual invoices with installment schedules, packages and business-issued gift cards (Pro). It is not a POS, an accounting system, or a specialist billing tool: it doesn't handle insurance claims or copays, trust accounting, retail inventory, tipping, stored cards, or automatic no-show fees.
