Is Payly really free for bookings?
Yes. There is no monthly fee, no booking fee and no paid tier. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees on paid bookings, as they would on any platform. How can this possibly be free?
Is it cheaper than Calendly?
Yes, for paid bookings. Calendly takes payments only on its Standard plan or higher: $10 a month per person billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly. Payly has no plan to buy. Stripe or PayPal charge their standard processing fees with either one. For example, 20 paid $50 bookings a month by card through Stripe in the US cost $35.00 in Stripe fees. In all, that comes to $45.00 to $47.00 a month with Calendly, and $35.00 with Payly.
How do clients pay?
With PayPal or by card through Stripe, when they book. Connect both and clients choose. The money goes straight to your own account, and Payly never holds it.
Can bookings be free?
Yes. A service with no price is booked with no payment, and free and paid services can share one page.
Can two clients book the same time?
No. Each time is booked once, or by as many people as a group class holds. While a client pays, their time is held for 30 minutes.
Can clients cancel or change their time?
Yes, up to a cutoff you set, such as 24 hours before. Their confirmation email has links to cancel or pick a new time. Payments are not refunded automatically: you decide, and refund from your dashboard.
Can I add it to my own website?
Yes. Copy the code from Share and paste it into your website to show the calendar on a page, or a button or link that opens it. On a Payly store or site, add the Booking block.
How many booking pages can I have?
Each booking page runs in your own Cloudflare account, like a form. Cloudflare's free plan holds up to 100 forms and booking pages in one account, fewer if it also holds stores. Its $5 a month plan holds up to 500, paid to Cloudflare. Payly stays free either way. What the free plan covers
What is not included?
Outlook and Apple calendars, Zoom links, team scheduling, text-message reminders, deposits, packages of sessions and repeating bookings are not supported.
