Take a deposit or payment | AIssie

Take a deposit or paymentCharge at booking time, with the money going straight to you.You can ask for a deposit, the full amount, or just a card on file when someone books. You connect your own payment account, so the money goes to you directly — we never hold it.How to do it

Open Integrations and connect your payment account.

Open Quote & Booking Settings and choose what to charge and how much.

Set your cancellation policy and the fee for a late cancellation, if you charge one.

Book yourself in from Test your Booking and check the card step appears.

A booking that reaches the card step is held while the customer pays and is only confirmed once they have. Nothing is sent to them until then.Cancelling inside your notice period refunds automatically. Outside it, the fee you set is kept.If the payment connection is missing or broken, the card step is skipped rather than blocking the booking — you get the booking without the deposit rather than losing both.Where this is in your dashboard
