Customer Payment Options

• Deposit Payments: Allow customers to book services by paying only the deposit fee, with the full amount optionally payable later.

Booking Status Based on Payment Outcomes

• Successful and Failed Payment Booking Status: Set the automatic appointment status based on whether a payment is successful or unsuccessful after the system waits for the customer.

Tax Visibility

• Hide “Price Does Not Include Taxes”: Enable this option to display a note on the services and extras steps indicating whether taxes are included in the price.

Payment Methods

• Enable or disable specific payment methods for customer bookings. When enabled, you must create applications for the selected gateways. Available payment methods include:
• Stripe: Create Application
• PayPal: Create Application
• Square: Create Application
• Sandbox Mode: Use Sandbox Mode for testing payment integrations before switching to Live Mode for real transactions.
• Currency Compatibility: Ensure that the payment methods support the currency selected in Settings > Payment Settings > General.

Gift Card Payments

• Allow customers to book appointments using their gift card balance. Gift cards can be used to pay either the full service amount or just the deposit.

Local Payment Option

• This offline payment method allows customers to book without making an online payment. Ideal for businesses that accept payments in person.
