Customising your default payment methods makes it easy to offer your clients the best ways to pay. With just a few taps, you can select which payment methods you want to use for deposits and final payments - keeping everything streamlined and hassle-free!

🛠️ How to set up default payment methods

1️⃣ Go to Settings > Payments

Head to the Settings section of the app, then find 'Payments'.

2️⃣ Select 'Payment Methods'

Find and tap on the 'Payment methods' option to access your default payment settings.

3️⃣ Choose your preferred payment methods

Here, you can enable or disable different payment methods for deposits and final payments:

💳 Card payments (debit, credit, Apple Pay, Google Pay) – simple and familiar. Clients pay with their bank card.

⏰ Buy Now, Pay Later (Klarna, Afterpay, etc.) - clients can spread the cost, but these options come with higher processing fees.

🌍 Alternative methods (Bancontact, iDEAL, Giropay, etc.) – region-specific payment options with varying fees.

💡 Heads up! Different payment methods have different fees. The Buy now, pay later options (Klarna, Afterpay) usually cost more.

For example Klarna in the UK will charge 4.99%. Think of it as £5 per every £100.

4️⃣ Save your changes

Once you’ve selected your preferred payment methods, tap 'Save payment methods' to apply the settings. These will now be the default options when taking payments through the app.
