What are the benefits of Stripe and how will this help me?
Credit Card Capture
Businesses can minimize No-Shows by requesting their clients to place a valid credit card on file when scheduling appointments online. If a client doesn't show up for their scheduled appointment, businesses can easily charge that client's credit card with a few clicks of the mouse.
Deposits
Businesses can request for clients to pay a deposit when booking online. It can be a flat rate deposit or a percentage based on the service price. A pre-paid deposit from can ensure that the client is committed to their appointment.
Full Amount Payments
A full payment amount can be requested by businesses at the time of booking. This ensures money in your pocket, and less hustle at the time of the appointment for both you and your client.
