What payment methods can clients use?

Debit/credit Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, Klarna, Afirm, bank to bank transfers (ACH, IRIS, Swish, IDEAL, Bancontact, Open Banking / Faster Payments, and more).

Can I charge for things outside of a booking?

Yes, use a payment link for touch-ups, top-ups, or anything else that comes up. Send the link straight from your DMs if that's where the conversation already is.

What happens if a client cancels after the window?

The deposit becomes automatically available in your account. Once your cancellation window passes, refunds are on your terms, not automatic.

How do payouts work if I'm in a studio?

You choose. Receive payments directly yourself, or have your studio collect on your behalf.
