In-Depth Feature Analysis

Let’s dive deeper into the core functionalities that make the Bookly Stripe (Add-on) a must-have for any service-based business using Bookly PRO.

Seamless & Secure On-Site Checkout

Customer experience is paramount. When a client decides to book your services, the last thing you want is to redirect them to a third-party site for payment. This can cause confusion, distrust, and cart abandonment.

The Bookly Stripe (Add-on) solves this by embedding the Stripe payment form directly into your booking flow. Your branding remains consistent, and the client never leaves your domain. This creates a smooth, trustworthy transaction that increases conversion rates and reinforces the professionalism of your business.

Advanced Security with SCA & 3D Secure 2

Online payment security is no longer optional; it’s a requirement. This add-on is fully compliant with Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), a European regulation designed to make online payments more secure. It uses 3D Secure 2 to add an extra layer of verification, significantly reducing the risk of fraudulent transactions.

By implementing this level of security, you not only protect your business but also show your customers that you take their data security seriously. This compliance is essential for any business serving customers in Europe and is a best practice for global businesses looking to build a reputable brand.

Automated Payment and Booking Synchronization

Manually confirming payments and matching them to appointments is a time-consuming administrative task. The Bookly Stripe (Add-on) completely automates this process. Once a client completes their payment, the appointment status is automatically updated in your Bookly calendar.

This automation secures your booking, reduces the chance of no-shows, and ensures your cash flow is predictable. You can focus on delivering excellent service instead of chasing payments or managing spreadsheets. It transforms your booking system from a simple scheduler into a complete, self-managing sales platform.

Who is This Add-on Perfect For?

This payment processing extension is a game-changer for a wide range of professionals and businesses. If you use Bookly PRO to manage your schedule, you need this add-on.

• Consultants & Coaches: Secure payment for your sessions upfront, ensuring you’re compensated for your valuable time.
• Salons & Spas: Reduce costly no-shows by taking deposits or full payments for hair, nail, and spa appointments.
• Health & Wellness Clinics: Streamline payments for appointments with doctors, dentists, chiropractors, and therapists.
• Fitness Trainers & Studios: Allow clients to easily book and pay for personal training sessions, yoga classes, or gym time online.
• Tutors & Educational Services: Automate payments for tutoring sessions, workshops, or online courses.
• Any Service-Based Business: If you sell your time, this add-on ensures you get paid for it efficiently and securely.
