Accept Payments and Deposits at the Time of Booking

Understanding Payment Collection

Payment Collection is one of the foundational capabilities that separates professional scheduling from basic calendar tools. Collect deposits or full payment through Stripe or PayPal when clients book. Reduce late cancellations and no-shows with upfront payment. When implemented well, it removes guesswork from the booking process and gives both you and your clients confidence that every appointment is handled correctly.

Without payment collection, scheduling often depends on manual coordination—back-and-forth emails, sticky notes, or spreadsheets that quickly fall out of sync. These workarounds create gaps: double-bookings slip through, availability windows go unadvertised, and administrative overhead grows with every new client. The result is lost revenue and a frustrating experience for everyone involved.

As part of SchedulingKit's broader workflow, payment collection connects directly to your calendar, notification, and client management systems. Changes propagate instantly, so your availability is always accurate, reminders go out on time, and your team stays aligned without any extra steps.
