| 120 | == Accept payments at the time of booking == |
| 121 | |
| 122 | LatePoint lets you collect payment the moment a client books, no due invoices, no chasing, no unpaid appointments. Connect Stripe or Razorpay in about 10 minutes and start accepting payments on the free plan. |
| 123 | |
| 124 | Choose how you get paid: |
| 125 | |
| 126 | * **Full payment at booking:** Client pays the complete service fee upfront |
| 127 | * **Deposit at booking:** collect a fixed amount or percentage to hold the slot, balance due later |
| 128 | * **Pay later:** Send a payment link after the appointment via the invoicing feature |
| 129 | |
| 130 | Payments are processed directly by your payment gateway. LatePoint never holds your funds. |
| 131 | |
| 132 | Card data is handled entirely by Stripe or your chosen processor. PCI-DSS compliant by default. |
| 133 | |
