Payment Setup
How to configure payment methods, payment rules, and enable customers to pay online, by card, cash, or via terminal.
Payment Setup
Reservine allows you to offer customers multiple payment methods and flexibly determine when and how they should pay.
Where to Find the Settings
Go to Settings > Payments in the admin panel.
Available Payment Methods
| Method | Description | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Online card payment | Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay directly during booking | Stripe Connect |
| Card terminal (POS) | Customer pays by card on-site | Your own POS terminal |
| Cash | Customer pays in cash during their visit | None |
| Other method | Bank transfer, invoice, or other payment method | None |
You can independently enable or disable each method via the toggle in Settings > Payments.
To activate online card payments, you must first connect your account to Stripe. A detailed guide is available in the Stripe Connect section.
Payment Rules
In addition to payment methods, you configure when the customer should pay:
Payment Required Upfront
The customer must pay the full amount when creating the reservation. Suitable for high-demand businesses, online services, or services requiring expensive preparation.
Payment Optional (Pay On-Site)
The customer can choose whether to pay online in advance or on-site during their visit. Suitable for hair salons, beauty salons, and businesses building trust.
Deposit Payment
The customer pays only a portion of the amount upfront (e.g., 30%). The remainder is paid on-site. Suitable for more expensive services, group activities, or special procedures.
