FluentBooking allows you to set up a way for clients to pay for your booking services. Whether you prefer Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce, or offline payments. Follow the simple steps to get it done.
Enable Payment Settings #
Before you start accepting payments, you’ll need to enable the payment feature.
Start by going to the Settings menu at the top of your dashboard. Under General Settings, scroll down until you see Payment Settings. Now, switch on the Enable Payment Module option.
Once that’s done, choose the Currency you’d like to use for your bookings from the dropdown menu. Then, click the Save Settings button. That’s it!
Configure Payment Settings #
To set up payments for a specific booking, click the Calendars section in your FluentBooking dashboard. Find the booking you want to update, then click the Edit button.
Now, select the Payment Settings option and choose the checkbox that says Enable this event as Paid and collect payment on booking.
After that, you will see two payment Checkout Methods. Choose one option for your event Booking.
Use Native Payment Methods by FluentBooking #
FluentBooking lets you accept payments using built-in options like Stripe, PayPal, or even Offline payments.
Once you’ve selected your preferred payment method, head to the Booking Payment Items section. Here, you can enter the name of your service or items and set the price.
If you need to add more services or items, click the Add More Item button and fill in the details. After setting everything up, click the Save Changes button to save your settings.
Use WooCommerce Checkout #
If you’d like to use WooCommerce Checkout to accept payments for your bookings, you’ll first need to enable the WooCommerce Addon.
To do this, go to Settings from the top menu, then scroll down and click on Advanced Features & Addons on the left side. Find the WooCommerce option and turn it on by clicking the Radio button.
Now, go back to your booking event and select Use WooCommerce Checkout. You can only choose from existing products in your WooCommerce store. The booking price will match the product price in your store.
When all is done, click the Save Changes button.
Set up your Payment Gateway #
To make the system work, you need to connect at least one payment method. FluentBooking supports multiple payment methods for a single booking.

Can you give users a coupon for a discount?
Hey Bill,
Coupon codes aren’t currently supported in FluentBooking.
In the current booking software we use we can make payment optional. So if people want to pay cash at the appointment they can. How can I do this with Fluent Booking?
Hey Rob,
It’s not possible currently. I’ll discuss it with the development team regarding your request.
would it be possible to set up money transfer payment? so I would only confim a booking when themoney arrived to my bank accout.
Hey Zsuzsa,
Yes, it’s possible.
Hi, what is the logic of the additional items? They are added to the booking fee per default. Is it not meant that the customer/bookee can select the additional items at will?
same problem, do you find a solution ?
It’s useful if you are offering multiple services or packages.
It would be great to take a deposit payment. I can see a few others have requested the same.
This feature would mean that while a service could cost $100, the customer can pay a $20 deposit which guarantees the booking and they can pay the remaining balance of $80 directly.
Users should be able to set a service price ($100 for example) and an option to accept a deposit ($20 for example). Customers could then choose to pay in full or the deposit, and owe the balance later directly with the service provider.
This is more relevant to selling services and events rather than meetings / calls but would be a crucial feature to have.
Hi Robert,
I’ll discuss this request with the development team as a priority. Please be patient in the meantime.
coool, any news 🙂
Hey Kris,
It’s under consideration.
Can you request a deposit for an event?
Hey Claire,
Can you explain to me what you actually want?
Please provide documentation to create a custom payment gateway. We want razorpay but not via woocommerce. You already have integrated razorpay in fluent forms, what is the reason of not adding in fluent booking?
Hey Sunny,
We value every request from our users. We integrated RazorPay with Fluent Forms because there was significant demand for it. If we receive enough requests for this integration, we’ll add RazorPay to FluentBooking. Please be patient in the meantime.
There is a another payement integration ? Maybe PayPal or something else
Hi Maeva,
Yes, FluentBooking currently supports both Stripe and PayPal for receiving payments.
how do you set up deposit payment?
Hi Nutcracker,
What do you mean by this? Can you explain?
How to show option to collect payment offline
Hi Dips,
Currently, you can’t collect your payment offline. However, I’ll forward your suggestion to our R&D team.
