Collect Payments at Booking Time via PayPal
SchedulingKit integrates with PayPal to collect the full service fee when clients book an appointment. Clients pay using their PayPal balance, linked bank account, debit card, credit card, or PayPal Pay Later. The booking confirms only after payment succeeds, and funds go directly to your PayPal business account.

Booking Payments in Practice
A real-world look at how PayPal booking payments works with SchedulingKit.
A language tutoring business based in Spain serves students across Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Students pay in euros, but many international students prefer PayPal over entering credit card details on an unfamiliar website. The tutor connects her PayPal Business account to SchedulingKit and sets lesson prices: Group Class (EUR 20/session), Private Lesson (EUR 45/session), and Intensive Package (5 lessons for EUR 200).
A student in Brazil books a private lesson. He clicks "Pay with PayPal," logs into his PayPal account, and pays EUR 45 from his PayPal balance (which handles the currency conversion from BRL automatically). The booking confirms instantly, and the tutor sees the payment in her PayPal account.
The tutor processes 120 bookings per month, roughly 40% paid via PayPal and 60% via the Stripe card option she also offers. International students choose PayPal 3:1 over credit card because they already have PayPal accounts with verified payment methods.
PayPal fees are 3.49% + fixed fee per transaction for international payments. On her EUR 5,400 monthly PayPal revenue, she pays approximately EUR 200 in fees. She considers this reasonable given the conversion rate improvement — before offering PayPal, international booking completion rates were 52%. After adding PayPal, they rose to 78%.
