Take payments online

Appoinly can take payment on the booking page. It supports Stripe, PayPal and Viva.com — set up whichever you have an account with. You'll need the account's keys, which each provider shows in its own dashboard.

Turn payments on

  1. In the sidebar, open Settings and go to the Payments tab.
    The Payments tab in Settings, with “Accept online payments” at the top and one card per provider below it.
  2. Tick Accept online payments. As the page explains, customers can choose how to pay once a gateway below is configured.
  3. Set up at least one provider (next sections), then click Save settings.

Stripe

  1. Tick Enable Stripe.
    The Stripe card with Enable Stripe ticked, showing the Publishable key and Secret key fields.
    A saved secret shows as •••••• (saved) — leave it blank to keep it.
  2. In your Stripe dashboard (dashboard.stripe.com → Developers → API keys), copy the publishable and secret keys.
  3. Paste them into Publishable key and Secret key.
  4. Webhook signing secret is optional — the page notes bookings are confirmed with Stripe directly, and a webhook just adds extra resilience.

PayPal

  1. Tick Enable PayPal.
  2. From your PayPal developer account (developer.paypal.com), copy the app's credentials into Client ID and Secret.
  3. Use Sandbox mode (test payments) while trying it out — untick it to take real payments.

Viva.com

Viva is a popular choice in Cyprus and Greece. It needs two sets of credentials, both from your Viva account.

  1. Tick Enable Viva.com.
  2. From your Smart Checkout credentials, fill in Client ID and Client secret.
  3. From the Viva banking app, fill in Merchant ID and API key.
  4. Fill in the Payment source code of the payment source you created in Viva.
  5. Copy the webhook URL shown on the page and add it as a webhook in your Viva banking app — Viva verifies it once, automatically.
  6. Use Demo mode with demo credentials while testing.

Deposits and tips

  • To ask only for a deposit at booking, open the service in Services and set Deposit type (fixed € or percent) under its pricing rules.
  • In the same Payments tab, the Tips section lets you tick Offer tips on the booking page.
