Take Payments on Your Bookings

• A free consultation calendar — no charge, low barrier, lets new clients meet you first.
• A paid session calendar — with a price attached, so booking and payment happen in one step.

New clients start on the free consult; returning clients book and pay on the session calendar.

Attaching a price to a calendar

Open the calendar you want to charge for and go to:

Toggle Accept payments. Your connected Stripe account appears right there. Then choose how much to collect:

• Full payment — the client pays the whole session fee to book. Best for established clients and virtual sessions.
• Deposit — the client pays a partial amount to hold the slot; collect the balance later. Best for higher-ticket or in-person work.

The calendar won't confirm until payment goes through — the single most effective no-show reducer there is.

Getting paid after a visit

• Text-to-pay — send a payment link by text or email; most people pay within minutes.
• Invoices & estimates — branded, sent automatically after the appointment. Also the right tool before Stripe is connected.

In-person payments: your phone is the terminal

For office visits, retreats, and trade shows, the mobile app turns your phone into a card reader:

• Tap-to-pay — accept contactless cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay directly on your phone. No extra hardware.
• Take cards in person — at a booth or pop-up, tap a card or phone, or key the number in (tap or type — no magstripe swipe).
• It all reconciles itself — an in-person sale lands on the same client record as their bookings and messages.

After you connect: dial in two settings

Spend two minutes in Payments → Settings:

• Receipts — turn on automatic sales receipts and set the "From" name/email to your practice.
• Taxes — add your tax rate once and it's applied at checkout.
