Hi,
is it possible to make the payment optional?
I can double all appointment types. One with a certain price and one with the price of 0.
Is there another way to achive this too?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Marko

There isn’t a way to make the payment optional, payments are either turned on or they aren’t. Your idea of having duplicate appointment types is a good one, but it would allow all of your bookers to bypass the payment option. If that is find then duplication and making the free ones $0 is a good option. The other option would be to route folks to a payment option after they book with the URL redirect. You could guide them to a PayPal cart page or a different payment page for an optional payment.

Thank you Ben, I didn’t think about the redirect. That’s clever! I appreciate your comment.
