Connect BetterHQ to Stripe to seamlessly collect online payments in seconds, so you can get paid faster!

Stripe is one of the world’s leading online payment service providers helping out individuals and businesses to accept payments. Increase your revenue with payment options built to reach a global audience.

In BetterHQ, Stripe Payments can be made 3 ways –

  1. Accept credit card payments for any sale from the payment screen for real-time payment processing. There's no credit card terminal needed, simply add card details and process to get paid instantly.

  2. Clients can pay when making Online Bookings. When clients book into your clinic calendar via online booking, clients can pay using their credit cards. Funds from the online booking sale are processed and deposited into the linked Stripe account.

  3. Include a 'Pay' button on outstanding invoices. Clients can pay outstanding invoices from a ‘Pay’ button on emailed invoices, with payments processed by Stripe.

To use our Stripe integration you will need a Stripe account. Get a Stripe account >

It's easy for your clients to pay for appointments using Stripe when booking online.

  2. When these details are added by your client and they click 'Pay & Confirm' the payment will be processed in real-time.   

  3. Funds will be sent to your Stripe account

  4. Your client will be taken to the Confirmation screen with a successful payment message.

A client has paid for an appointment online using Stripe, what happens now?

  1. An Invoice will be sent directly to the Client once they have booked and paid using Stripe. There will be no remaining balance for this invoice. The payment method recorded will be 'Stripe - Online Booking', you can report on this payment method in the payments report.

  2. You will need to CONFIRM the appointment either by clicking on the appointment in the calendar or going to the 'Pending Bookings' screen and confirming. 

  3. After you have confirmed the appointment, the appointment will be marked as 'Paid' in the Calendar & Invoices screen. The appointment will also be updated to the Paid Appointment Colour if there is one setup.
