This guide will show you how to automatically add payment links to appointment reminders for appointments made through your Booking Form. This allows you to easily collect deposits or other upfront payments directly when clients schedule appointments.
Understanding Payments in GoReminders
GoReminders lets you add a price to appointments. When a price is set, we can include a payment link in your appointment reminders. This provides a convenient way for clients to pay you the exact amount right away. This is perfect for collecting deposits or any other service charges you require before the appointment.
Enabling Automatic Payment Collection
In the Payment Options section on Settings > Booking, you can control how payments are handled for appointments made through your Booking Form.
You can:
Automatically set a price: Decide whether you want to automatically assign a default price to all appointments booked through your Booking Form. Enable this option if you want a standard deposit or payment amount for all bookings.
Add an invoice label: add a payment description that shows up in the checkout page when a customer makes a payment through the payment link.
Use Price per Service: If you have set prices for your Services in GoReminders, the appointment will prioritize that price over your Booking Form default price. This allows you to charge different deposit amounts based on the Services your client selects when booking.
For instance, you can set a higher deposit amount for a premium service compared to a basic service.
Add a Pay Link to reminder messages: You can automatically add “Please pay here: ” followed by the pay link to reminder messages for appointments that have a Price set. The wording is customizable under a new sub-section of Settings > Reminders, the Reminder Payment Link Options.
