Instant Pay is our brand new functionality that we have developed to allow clients to be able to make payment via Stripe before confirming or creating a booking.
This functionality can be switched on for all clients or set up for individual hirers depending on your venues’ needs or the type of client.
The Key Benefits of setting up Instant pay are:
- Reduced admin for your venue as you will no longer need to raise manual invoices for last minute bookings
- Reduced debtors as bookings are not confirmed until the payment has been received for the current calendar months bookings
- Quicker and smoother booking process for your hirers
It works seamlessly with Stripe, but there is no reason that this could not be extended to work with other payment gateways in the future. We chose Stripe because we wanted immediate payments which we felt is not what you get with other payment providers at the moment.
Please take a look at our articles to get more information on what it will look like from both your login and what you would need to do to get it set up and working for your venue:

Within our Instant Pay release we have also included some upgrades to the Client area that will be visible regardless of whether your venue has Instant Pay switched on. To take a look at what these are view our article: General Client account upgrade
