Paid appointment bookings now available in Google Calendar
What’s changing
To improve upon the current capabilities of appointment scheduling, the Google Calendar feature that allows users to share their availability via a booking page, we're now integrating paid appointment bookings into Google Calendar. As a result:
- Appointment providers can connect their Stripe accoun to Calendar when creating an appointment schedule and set a price. You can also create a new Stripe account from Calendar.
- The person booking the appointment will visit the booking page, choose their preferred time, and enter their credit card information.
Who’s impacted
Admins and end users
Why you’d use it
Requiring payment upfront can help small business owners reduce no shows and grow their business further. Additionally, this feature enables you to manage your time and payments in a simple and seamless manner.
Additional details
Google Calendar will redirect bookers to Stripe, does not process or store any payment info (such as credit card numbers), and will not charge any platform fees. Google cannot assist with any payment or refund issues. Canceling and refunding needs to be handled by providers and bookers via the Stripe dashboard.
