Stripe payments and deposit management for photo studios

Connect each studio’s own credentials and webhook, with separate test and live modes.

Collect the deposit linked to a booking on Stripe’s payment page, then return customers to the studio website.

Set a percentage of the booking total and the conditions requiring a deposit, using the same policy across online, chat and manual bookings.

For request-based services, invite payment of the required deposit after the studio accepts the request.

Show acceptance and payment separately so an unpaid required deposit is not presented as a fully confirmed booking.

Process Stripe events to reflect verified payment and refund outcomes in the booking.

Review the booking total, paid amount, refunds and remaining balance in one detail view.

Make in-progress payments and payment records requiring reconciliation visible to the team.

Check booking and payment state before Checkout, preventing another deposit payment for paid, waived or expired bookings.

Calculate deadlines from the payment window and the minimum lead time before the session.

Apply a configurable short grace window to near-term appointments, capped before the session begins.

Start the payment clock from the verified delivery of the payment invitation and flag delivery failures for attention.

Choose reminder stages for unpaid deposits, with timing adjusted for shorter payment windows.

Copy a valid private payment link, resend the payment message or send a manual reminder.

Extend the deadline from the booking screen and update its payment schedule.

Allow an administrator to waive an unpaid deposit, record the decision and update booking status.

Review payment events, deadline changes, refunds and email submission or delivery states in the booking history.
