Calendar Payments

It is now possible for the calendar to take payment when booking an appointment for both one time bookings and recurring bookings. It allows the business to receive payments when a client or customer books for a certain calendar appointment. This is very useful, especially for businesses that require a certain payment to book an appointment slot.

Available Payment Providers and How to Add Them


1. Payments in calendars are supported through two payment gateways, namely Stripe and Authorize.net.


Payment Integrations Screen in FG Funnels


2. Add the payment gateways first by going to Payments > Integrations


Please Note:

If you connect multiple gateways, you would see a dropdown to select your default payment gateway. Only the DEFAULT PAYMENT GATEWAY will be used to collect payments. So if you chose Stripe then it will only collect payments through Stripe.


Setting Up Payment for Single or One-Time Appointments

1. Go to Calendar Settings under Calendars -> Calendar Settings. 


Calendar Settings Page in FG Funnels


2. Edit (by clicking on the three dots to the right of the calendar name) an existing calendar or Create a New Calendar (Select Advanced Settings after inputting initial details). Under Forms & Payments you will see a toggle to "Accept Payments".

Payments for Recurring Appointments

You can also accept payment for recurring appointments in the calendar with a few other options to choose from.
You can now choose between two payment options:
  • Collect Payment for First Appointment Only: The payment is collected for the initial appointment only. For example, if you have 3 recurring appointments and the price is $50 per appointment, you will collect $50 at the time of booking. Subsequent payments for the remaining appointments will need to be collected manually.
  • Collect Payment for All Appointments: The total amount is collected at the time of booking, covering all appointments in the series. For example, for 3 recurring appointments at $50 each, a total of $150 is collected upfront. However, the final amount charged may vary depending on how many appointments are actually booked. This could change based on your availability and the settings you’ve configured for handling unavailability.

Note: Partial payments are not supported for recurring appointments.
How to Use
  • Select the calendar you want to configure.

  • Ensure recurring meeting is enabled and default payment provider is set up

  • Toggle on Accept Payments under the Forms and Payments tab

  • Enter the total amount charged per session and select either collect payment for "First Appointment Only" or for "All Appointments" and click Save.


REMEMBER! If you don't see the Payment Options like on the screenshot below, it's because you haven't integrated a payment gateway yet or the calendar is a calendar for recurring appointments. Review the steps above to activate Payment Options for Calendars.
