Stripe Booking Integration — Take Payments & Deposits
Want your bookings to arrive already paid instead of "maybe"? EchoSlam's Stripe integration lets you collect card payments and deposits right on your booking page. Connect your Stripe account once, switch on payments for any service, and customers pay when they book — the money lands straight in your own Stripe account. EchoSlam takes no commission on your bookings; the only fee is Stripe's own standard processing rate, billed to you by Stripe. You choose whether each service asks for the full price up front or just a deposit to hold the slot, which is one of the simplest ways to cut no-shows: a customer who has paid something almost always turns up. Card details are handled entirely by Stripe — a PCI-compliant processor trusted by millions of businesses — so EchoSlam never sees or stores a card number. There is nothing for your customers to install; they tap your link, pick a service and time, and pay by card in the same flow. It's free forever, connects in a few minutes, and works alongside the WhatsApp handoff so paid bookings still land in your chats. Below is how it works, what's included, and answers to the most common questions.
How the Stripe integration works
Get paid at the time of booking
Customers pay by card as they book, so appointments arrive confirmed and paid instead of sitting unconfirmed in your inbox.
Full price or a deposit
Charge the full amount up front or just a deposit to secure the slot. Taking a deposit is one of the easiest ways to slash no-shows.
Secure, PCI-compliant payments
Stripe handles every card detail. EchoSlam never sees or stores a card number, so your customers pay with confidence.
Zero commission, money in your account
Payments go straight to your own Stripe account. EchoSlam takes no cut — you only ever pay Stripe's standard processing fee.
Prefer to confirm over chat?
You don't have to take payment up front. Pair Stripe with the WhatsApp handoff so paid bookings still open a chat — or skip payments entirely and just take enquiries. It's your call, per service.
Frequently asked
How do I take Stripe payments on my booking page?
Connect your Stripe account to EchoSlam once, then switch on payments for any service. When a customer books, they pay by card through Stripe and the money lands in your own Stripe account. You can charge the full price or just a deposit to secure the slot. Setup takes a few minutes and there's nothing for your customers to install.
Does EchoSlam take a commission on Stripe payments?
No. EchoSlam never takes a cut of your bookings. Payments go directly to your connected Stripe account, and the only fee is Stripe's own standard processing rate, which Stripe charges you directly.
Can I charge a deposit instead of the full amount?
Yes. For each service you can require the full price up front, a fixed deposit, or a percentage deposit. Deposits are a simple way to cut no-shows — a customer who has paid something is far more likely to turn up.
Is it safe to enter card details?
Yes. Card details are handled entirely by Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor trusted by millions of businesses. EchoSlam never sees or stores your customers' card numbers.
Do I need a Stripe account to use EchoSlam?
No. EchoSlam is free forever without payments — you can take bookings and hand off to WhatsApp with no Stripe account at all. Connect Stripe only when you want to collect card payments or deposits at the time of booking.
