What "Scan to Pay" Means
"Scan to Pay" is a fast, seamless way for your clients to pay instantly using their mobile device. With GetaBooking, this feature is fully automated and integrated directly with your Stripe account, so you don't have to worry about manual setup.
How it works:
Automatic QR code generation
GetaBooking creates a unique scan-to-pay QR code for each booking automatically in your Stripe account.
Client scans the code
Your customer simply scans the QR code with their phone to pay — no card details to enter manually.
Instant payment confirmation
Once the payment is processed, GetaBooking automatically updates the booking status as paid in your dashboard.
