Let customers book now and pay offline

Use Booknetic’s Local Payment option when your business collects payment in person, by cash, or outside the online checkout process.

Feature explanation

Local Payment is Booknetic’s built-in offline payment method. It gives businesses a simple way to accept bookings without requiring customers to complete an online gateway payment during checkout.

Use it when payment is collected at your location, by cash, by an external process, or after the appointment is confirmed. Booknetic can record the payment method and status in the Payments module, while the actual money collection happens outside online gateway processing.

Local Payment does not charge cards, initiate bank transfers, confirm receipt from an external provider, or automate accounting. It is a booking payment option for businesses that manage collection outside Booknetic’s online gateway integrations.

Key benefits

• Keep checkout simple: Let customers finish booking without online card processing.
• Support pay-at-location workflows: Useful for cash, in-person, or externally arranged payments.
• No gateway add-on required: Local Payment is core Booknetic behavior.
• Keep payment records organized: Review Local Payment records and payment statuses from the Payments module.
• Use alongside online gateways: Offer Local Payment as a fallback or alternative when online gateway add-ons are also enabled.
