Immediate payment
Require full payment to confirm. If it doesn't arrive within the window you set, the booking request expires on its own and the dates are sellable again.

Payments
Most software treats payment as a single transaction. Your bookings don't work that way.
Bookinglayer Pay is included by default, so the whole arc runs from one place and collecting money stops being a job you need to worry about.
Bookinglayer Pay
Bookinglayer Pay lives natively in your Backoffice, alongside everything else you run day to day. Handling payments becomes part of your normal workflow rather than a separate job, which keeps your daily operations simple and streamlined.
Payment Options
Payment options that match how you actually sell
A group books together but pays separately. A day pass settles on the spot. Generic checkouts assume one payment, and turn everything else into a workaround. In Bookinglayer, the payment shape follows the package.
Deposit Rules
Take a deposit at booking. Set the balance due date relative to arrival. The schedule is yours, per package.
Group payments
The main booker pays for everyone, or each guest pays their own share. No spreadsheet splitting the bill, no email chain collecting it.
Set per package
A weekend taster and a three-week training don't need the same payment rules. Each package carries its own.
Stop chasing balance payments
Sunday night, spreadsheet open. Who paid, who hasn't, who needs a first reminder, who needs a second? Every operator running deposits knows that evening. Bookinglayer takes the whole routine off your desk and nobody needs to chase anyone.
Reminders
Reminders go out on a schedule you set relative to arrival, in your voice, with a payment link inside so the guest settles it in one click.
Payment plans
Split a high-ticket trip into installments. Each one charges itself on the saved card when its date comes, one by one, until the trip is paid. Four payments, zero chasing.
Always know where you stand
Payment status updates in real time, overdue bookings flag themselves, and the answer to "who still owes what" becomes a glance instead of an evening.
What Bookinglayer Pay adds
Refunds from the Backoffice
Full or partial, sent from the booking itself. No gateway login, no second tool.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What payment methods does Bookinglayer support?
Bookinglayer supports credit and debit cards, bank transfer, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, buy now pay later options including Klarna and Afterpay, and gift cards or vouchers. Each method can be turned on or off by location and by what is in the guest's cart, so a business only shows the options relevant to that booking.
How does Bookinglayer charge a balance payment automatically?
When a guest pays a deposit by card through Stripe, Bookinglayer stores the card on file. On the balance due date set for that package, the remaining amount charges automatically, and the same logic applies to each installment in a payment plan. Guests paying through a different gateway get a scheduled reminder with a one click payment link instead of an automatic charge.
How does Bookinglayer handle refunds?
Refunds are issued per booking and logged against that booking's payment history, so the money trail stays complete. With Bookinglayer Pay specifically, full or partial refunds are sent directly from the Backoffice without logging into a separate payment gateway.
What is Bookinglayer Pay?
Bookinglayer Pay is payment processing built into Bookinglayer, included by default. It adds auto charged payment plans, refunds from the Backoffice, saved cards, and card terminal support, at standard per transaction processing rates. Businesses in regions where it is not yet live can connect one of 35+ supported gateways instead.
Does Bookinglayer support multiple currencies automatically?
Yes. A guest can book in their own currency, and Bookinglayer converts the amount to whatever currency the connected gateway accepts. A business does not need a separate merchant account for every currency it wants to sell in.
Can Bookinglayer split a booking's payment between several guests?
Yes. Bookinglayer gives two options to manage group bookings, lets the main booker pay for everyone, or lets each guest pay their own share individually, removing the need for a spreadsheet or an email chain to collect money from a group.
Does Bookinglayer support payment plans for high value bookings?
Yes, Bookinglayer supports payments plans. A high ticket trip can be split into installments, and each installment charges automatically to the saved card on its scheduled date. A four payment plan runs itself without manual follow up on any of the four charges.
