You can offer services for free, allow customers to pay online when booking, or
in-person during the event.
The following service rateTypes are supported.
- No Fee: Customers can book for free. Even though the service is free, you
must allow either in-person or online payments when creating the service.
- Fixed: The service price is fixed and doesn't change. When specifying a
fixed service rate, you must set
payment.fixed.price.value to a value greater
than 0.00.
- Varied rate: The service price depends on which
service variant
(SDK | REST)
the customer chooses. For example, how long the appointment lasts, the
participant's age, or which staff provides the service.
- Custom rate: The service price isn't defined by a specific numerical
value but as a descriptive string, such as "Donation", or "Contact us for pricing
information". You must allow in-person payments when setting a custom rate.
The service's payment.options determine how customers can pay. The following
payment options are available.
- Online payments: Customers can pay online when booking the service. It's
recommended to allow online payments, since this significantly reduces
no-shows.
- In-person: Customers can pay in-person during the event.
- Deposits: Customers must pay a deposit when booking the service. If the
service requires a deposit, make sure to:
- Allow online payments.
- Also allow in-person payments, if the deposit is less than the full price.
- Specify the deposit amount in either
payment.fixed.deposit.value or
payment.varied.deposit.value based on the rate type.
- Pricing plans: Customers can pay with a membership when booking the
service. If you accept pricing plans
(SDK | REST)
as payments, you must allow online payments and add specific pricing plan IDs
as
service.payment.pricingPlanIds.
You must allow either in-person or online payments for every service, even if
it's free.
