To accept Stripe payments for online bookings 'Online Booking' must first be setup in your account.
Once you have setup your clinic online booking, these are the steps to accept Stripe payments:
Go here
Or go to Settings > Online Booking > Manage
In the payments box, select the toggle 'Enable Payment for Online Bookings'
Save
Once you have done this, online payments 'Powered by Stripe' will be available for your clients when they book online into your calendar.
Optional: Make it optional for clients to pay when making appointments by selecting the 'Allow clients to Skip Payment' checkbox when setting up Online Booking.

A client has paid for an appointment online using Stripe, what happens now?
An Invoice will be sent directly to the Client once they have booking 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.
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.
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.
