Questions about paid bookings.
What people ask before they set up paid bookings: how it works, which plan it needs and its limits.
Talk it through with our teamNo. Caletus takes 0% of each payment, so you keep everything you collect apart from Stripe's standard processing fee. The money goes straight to your own Stripe account, not through Caletus.
Through Stripe. When an event has a price, clients pay by card in the same step as booking, so there's no separate invoice to chase afterwards. The payment goes to the Stripe account you connected to Caletus.
Yes. Create a separate event for each. For example, offer a free 15-minute intro call alongside a paid 60-minute strategy session. Clients book the free call without paying and pay when they book the paid one, all from the same Caletus account.
No. Card details are entered on Stripe and processed by Stripe, so they never pass through Caletus. You don't have to handle card security yourself.
