Accept Payments When Clients Book
SchedulingKit's payment integration solves a critical conversion gap: clients who must call or pay later are 3x more likely to abandon the booking than those who pay upfront. By connecting Stripe or PayPal, you collect full payments, deposits, or tips at the moment of booking — securing revenue and reducing no-shows in one step. Paid bookings see 50% fewer no-shows compared to free-to-book services. The system supports fixed amounts and percentage-based deposits, automatic refunds based on your cancellation policy, and multi-currency for international clients. Invoices and receipts are generated automatically for accounting and client records. Whether you're a coach charging $200 per session or a salon requiring a $25 deposit, payment collection happens seamlessly within the booking flow so clients never leave your funnel to complete payment elsewhere.
