We’re going to cover how to use payment settings to cut down on no-shows, how using our payment processor builds business credit, and why you should encourage clients to add a payment method to their booking account. Plus, we’ll talk about Norm, our built-in payment option that allows clients to checkout (and tip!) without digging for their credit card — they can just pay straight from their phones! It’s available to anyone with payments turned on in their Schedulicity account.
Pro tip: If you haven’t applied to use our built-in payment processor yet, why not get the ball rolling now? (Processing the application takes 2-5 days.) That way, you can follow along live as we walk through all the settings.
