Payments

Paid before they walk in.

Customers pay when they book: in full, with a deposit or in instalments. You stop chasing balances and start the class.

Ways to pay

Let customers pay the way that suits them.

  • Card and wallet

    Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout, through Stripe.

  • Deposits

    Take part of the price to hold the place, and let Baluu collect the rest.

  • Instalments

    Split a term, a course or a retreat into a payment plan.

  • Payment links

    Send a secure link for a private lesson, a custom order or anything off the menu.

Balances

Stop chasing. Baluu does it, politely.

  • Reminders that send themselves: one when a balance falls due, and one nudge if it's overdue
  • Never an awkward cancellation: Baluu never cancels a booking over an unpaid balance
  • Balance due, in view: filter your bookings to see who still owes you
  • Invoices when they're needed: a PDF invoice for anyone who has to pay by bank transfer

Questions people ask.

How do I get paid?
Payments go through Stripe. Connect your Stripe account in Baluu and money from bookings is paid out to your bank account.
Can customers pay part now and the rest later?
Yes. Take a deposit at checkout and Baluu collects the balance, or split a bigger booking, such as a term or a course, into instalments.
Will Baluu cancel a booking if the balance isn't paid?
No. Baluu sends a reminder when the balance is due and one polite nudge if it's overdue, and it never cancels a booking over an unpaid balance. That decision stays with you.
Can I take payment for something that isn't on my booking page?
Yes. Send a customer a secure payment link for a private lesson, a custom order or anything else off the menu.
What does Baluu cost?
Every new account pays 0% commission for its first 90 days. After that, see the pricing page for the plans.
