We just added a new feature where clients can pay for appointments right when they book.
I know this is a huge deal for a lot of you! Payments have been by far our number one requested feature.
Note: The new payments option is in addition to our preexisting credit card capture feature, which is still an option.

Set up credit card payments & capture
I would use the credit card capture auction if I could use my own processor
How do I set this us on my website?
Hi Linda,
If you go to the “Settings” tab and click “Add to my website” you will see some html code that you can copy and paste into the html of your website. We provide you with code to add a “Schedule Now” button or a link that will redirect clients to your scheduling page. There is also code to embed your scheduler directly into your website.
We have some articles and instructions about how to add your Schedulista scheduler to your website here http://support.schedulista.com/category/14-add-to-website
Are clients able to choose to pay by credit card at the time of booking vs pay when they arrive for the lesson?
Hi Mike,
You can automatically charge clients when they schedule an appointment with you. Schedulista is integrated with a credit card capturing service called Stripe. Through Stripe you can either automatically charge clients at the time they schedule or you can just capture their credit card info and charge them if they don’t show up for the appointment.

Is there a way to offer gift certificates using your payment system, or only to pay for appointments?
Hi Sonya,
Thanks for the question. We do not (currently) have a way for customers to pay for gift certificates in Schedulista.
It would really be great if you set up gift certificates up as an option. Especially with the holiday season coming up!!!
Agreed. We won’t have at this year, but maybe next!
We would like to offer gift certificates this year and since Christmas is coming up, it would be nice it that was available. If not, can I set it up like a service? then provide a message saying that the gift certificate will be emailed to them with the option of picking it up at the clinic?
Unfortunately, we do not offer a gift certificate feature in Schedulista. You would have to sell the certificate outside of Schedulista.
Has there been any update on this? I have a client that wants their customers to be able to buy gift certificates as well as book appointments on their Squarespace website.
Hi Nicholas,
There is lots of interest in having a gift certiciate feature in Schedulista. But, we do not have that capability at this time.
Squarespace does have built-in e-commerce functionality, so you could sell a gift certificate that way.
Hi Felix,
Is it possible to set up credit card payments with Stripe, then add gift certificate to services offered? As long as I am notified, I could send the gift certificate out in the mail or make arrangements.
Hi Kim,
What you describe is possible, but I don’t think it would work well since each “purchase” would be a booking on your calendar. We don’t have a way for you to sell gift certificates built into Schedulista.
I agree! I would love to be able to offer my clients the ability to pay for gift certificates, and massage packages through Schedulista.
Fair enough! Thanks Maria.
