What it does
Taking bookings online is only half the job if you still have to chase payments afterward. This add-on connects PayPal to your Bookly booking flow, so clients can pay when they reserve a time slot. You can ask for the full amount upfront or take a deposit, which gives clients a reason to show up and gives you payment at the moment of booking. PayPal handles the transaction itself, and it supports international payments so clients in other countries can pay with their preferred currency and method.
Setup happens inside Bookly and needs no coding. Once configured, PayPal appears as a payment option at checkout, and the payment experience works on phones as well as desktops. When a payment goes through, Bookly receives the confirmation automatically, which cuts down on manual record keeping. The add-on works alongside Bookly's scheduling features, so it fits into the system you already use for services such as salon appointments, clinic visits or consultations.
Best for
- Salons and spas taking appointments through Bookly
- Clinics that want payment or deposits at booking
- Consultants with clients in different countries
