Stripe Payments
The Stripe Payments service enables you to accept payments for your services from customers, using the Stripe payment gateway for a small commission of 0.9% of the payment amount.
Note
Please be aware that Stripe applies additional fees for payment processing.
Please note that Stripe Payments and Bookly Stripe (Add-on) are distinct products with separate settings. The Stripe Payments integration redirects customers to the Stripe site to confirm and complete the order. In contrast, with Bookly Stripe (Add-on), customers can make instant payments within your booking form without being redirected to the Stripe site to complete the transaction.
Setup
- Before connecting the Stripe payment gateway, ensure you have a Stripe account.
- Click on the Get started button. You will be redirected to the Stripe connect page. Sign in with your Stripe account and click Connect my Stripe account.
- Once connected, navigate to Settings > Payments in the Bookly menu, and enable the Stripe Cloud payment method.
- You can enhance payment details by adding custom metadata. Use available codes from the list, and this information will be passed to Stripe along with the payment.
Price correction: Adjust the total cost of the booking based on the payment method used.
Time interval of payment gateway: Set the time limit after which payments made via the payment gateway are considered incomplete. This functionality requires a scheduled cron job.
Transactions made by your customers using the Stripe Cloud payment option can be refunded. Look for the Refund button in the payment details.
Cloud Cron
Bookly requires cron setup for sending scheduled Email and SMS notifications, including appointment reminders, birthday greetings, staff agendas, SMS campaigns, and automatic appointment status changes. Typically, cron setup involves some technical skills and should be configured in your hosting provider’s control panel.
However, with Bookly Cloud Cron, it's a one-click enabled service that runs frequently – every 5 minutes. This ensures that Bookly performs all your time-based actions seamlessly.
To activate the Cloud Cron service, simply click the Get Started button in Bookly Cloud > Products. No additional configuration is required.
