Collect payments using self checkout
In this guide, you’ll learn how to collect payments by sending clients a secure payment link, using self-checkout.
How self-checkout works
With self-checkout, clients can pay from their phone through a secure link you send after their appointment. The link is valid for 12 hours, supports tipping, and saves their card details for future use.
Collecting a payment using self-checkout
- To create a new sale, you can either raise a new sale or select Checkout from an appointment and make any adjustments to the cart.
- In the right panel of the cart view, click on the Continue to payment button at the bottom.

- In the left panel, under Payment methods, select Self checkout from the options.

- In the pop-up, review the client's phone number or add one if it's empty. Click on the Send Link button to send the client a text message with a payment link.

- The client receives a text message with the link for them to add their card and pay.

- When the client has made a payment, your page will refresh with the completed sale.

The completed sale will generate a receipt, which you can share with the client by email or print.
