Bookinglayer Pay
Transparent, integrated payment processing designed to help you automate your business, increase financial visibility, and offer better payment options to your guests.
Design the perfect payment flow
Every retreat or trip on Bookinglayer can have its own payment plan, because a weekend workshop and a month-long expedition shouldn't collect payments the same way.
Set up a simple deposit and remainder, or spread the cost across as many installments as you need. Define each tranche as a fixed amount or a percentage of the total, and Bookinglayer handles collection automatically. No manual chasing, no separate tools. Just the right payment flow for each experience you offer.
- Custom payment plans
- Multiple installments
- Automatic card charges
- Early payment discounts

For businesses that want a dedicated reader, compact card terminals are available too.

Payment plans allow you to split the total booking amount into multiple installments, collected from your guest at different points in time. For example, you might collect a 30% deposit at the time of booking, a second payment 60 days before arrival, and the remaining balance 2 weeks before the retreat starts. Each installment can be charged automatically to the guest's saved card on the date you set, so there is nothing to chase manually and nothing your guest needs to action after their initial booking.
Bookinglayer Pay unlocks the full power of payment plans.
Unlimited installment segments - create as many payment tranches as your business needs. Without Bookinglayer Pay, payment plans are limited to two segments.
Automatic charges - each installment is charged automatically to your guest's saved card on the due date. No manual processing, no chasing.
Instant refunds from your Backoffice — issue full or partial refunds directly from Bookinglayer, without logging into a separate payment tool.
Discount incentives - reward guests who pay upfront. For example, offer a 5% discount if a guest pays 100% at the time of booking.
Integrated payment reporting - all payment plan activity is visible directly in your Bookinglayer Backoffice, giving you a full financial picture in one place.
Without Bookinglayer Pay, payment plans are limited to two installment segments and do not support automatic charges, refunds from the Backoffice, discount incentives, or integrated reporting.
