Recurring appointments are scheduled meetings or events that occur repeatedly at regular intervals, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.
Payment Options for Recurring Appointment
You can accept payments for recurring appointments on the booking widget with two options:
Collect Payment for First Appointment Only
Payment is required only for the first appointment at the time of booking. For instance, if you schedule three recurring sessions at $50 each, you will be charged $50 upfront. The remaining payments for future appointments must be processed manually.
Collect Payment for All Appointments
The total amount is collected at the time of booking, covering all appointments in the series. For example, for 3 recurring appointments at $50 each, a total of $150 is collected upfront. However, the final amount charged may vary depending on how many appointments are actually booked. This could change based on your availability and the settings you’ve configured for handling unavailability.
Note: Recurring Calendars do not support partial payments.
