Online booking

Connect online payments with Stripe

Start Stripe Connect onboarding and check whether the payment account is active.

Owner

Bookibo uses Stripe Connect for online payments. Open Settings → Payments.

Connect the account

  1. Select Connect with Stripe.
  2. Bookibo redirects you to the Stripe onboarding page.
  3. Complete the information requested by Stripe.
  4. Return to Settings → Payments and review the connection status.

Bookibo shows one of three states:

  • Stripe account not connected — no Stripe account has been attached yet;
  • Stripe account is under review — the account exists, but charges are not enabled;
  • Payments are enabled — Stripe reports that charges are enabled.

For an active connection, select Open Stripe Dashboard to open the connected account dashboard in a new tab.

Enable prepayment in a widget

After payments are active, open the required widget and turn on Require prepayment for online bookings. Bookibo currently supports full mandatory prepayment only; deposits and optional prepayments are not supported.

Every service available through that widget must have a price greater than zero. During online booking, Bookibo sends the client to Stripe Checkout and creates the appointment only after successful payment.

Account verification, settlement timing and payout settings are handled by Stripe and are not configured in the Bookibo form.
