Offering a seamless booking experience that includes payment collection can significantly enhance your business operations and client satisfaction. With LeadDec, setting up a calendar that integrates Stripe for payments is straightforward and enhances your service delivery. This guide walks you through creating a payment-enabled booking calendar, ensuring your clients can easily secure their appointments with a payment.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Payment-Enabled Calendar:
Creating Your Calendar:
Navigate to the 'Calendars' section within your LeadDec dashboard and select 'Create New Calendar'.
Fill out the basic details, including selecting the relevant profile or team members, and specify the location (e.g., studio or Zoom).
Setting Up Payments:
When you reach the section titled 'Taking Payments', ensure you have Stripe integrated into your LeadDec account.
Choose the payment option and define the cost of the booking. For example, set the amount to 50 GBP and provide a clear description for the charge.
Calendar Setup Continuation:
Proceed with the regular calendar setup, selecting session availability, booking advance notice, and specific times and dates for appointments.
Activating Stripe Payments:
Ensure your Stripe account is linked and active. Tick the option for Stripe payments and enter the amount you’ll be charging for each appointment.
Input the currency and a brief description for the transaction to inform your clients about the charge details.
Finalizing Your Calendar:
Complete the setup by customizing the confirmation message that clients will see upon booking. This could include a simple acknowledgment or next steps.
Once finalized, you'll receive a unique link for your newly created payment-enabled calendar. Share this link directly with clients or embed it on your website for easy access.
Offering Flexible and Secure Payment Options:
Integrating Stripe with your booking calendar not only provides convenience for your clients but also ensures smooth and secure transaction processing. Clients can enter their payment information with confidence, knowing their data is protected, and enjoy the convenience of automatic payment upon booking.
