Collect Payments with Recurring Appointments Using the Booking Widget

Overview​

Recurring appointments are those that occur on a regular schedule, such as daily, weekly, or monthly. Stack allows you to collect payments for these appointments directly through the booking widget.

Payment Options for Recurring Appointments​

When setting up recurring appointments, you have two payment collection options:

1. Collect Payment for the First Appointment Only​

  • How it Works: Payment is collected only for the initial appointment. For instance, if you have three recurring appointments priced at $50 each, you will collect $50 when the booking is made. You will need to manually collect payments for the subsequent appointments.

2. Collect Payment for All Appointments​

  • How it Works: The total amount for all appointments is collected at the time of booking. For example, if you have three appointments at $50 each, a total of $150 is collected upfront. The final charge may vary depending on the number of appointments actually booked, influenced by your availability and settings for handling unavailability.

Note: Recurring Calendars do not support partial payments.
