Description

The Bookly PayPal Payments Standard (Add-on) enables the PayPal Payments Standard gateway as a payment option within the Bookly booking flow, redirecting the customer to PayPal’s hosted checkout and returning them to the booking confirmation after payment is completed. Ideal for clinics, salons, offices, and service providers who accept bookings through the site and want to charge for the appointment using a PayPal Business account, with sandbox mode to test the flow before publishing.

Main Features

  • PayPal Payments Standard Gateway: adds PayPal as a payment method in the final step of the Bookly booking.
  • Hosted Checkout: redirects the customer to PayPal’s payment environment and returns to the site after confirmation.
  • Sandbox Mode: allows testing transactions in a staging environment before activating in production.
  • Configuration Through Bookly Dashboard: credentials, currency, and payment description are set directly in the base plugin’s settings.
  • Link Between Booking and Payment: the booking status follows the transaction result returned by PayPal.

Benefits of Bookly PayPal Payments Standard (Add-on)

  • Immediate Charge at Booking: reduces no-shows by requiring payment before confirming the time.
  • Utilization of Existing PayPal Business Account: uses credentials the business already has, without subscribing to a new service.
  • Brand Recognition at Checkout: customers pay in a familiar PayPal environment, using card or account balance.
  • International Operations: accepts payments in multiple currencies supported by PayPal itself.

Who Is This For?

  • Clinics, offices, salons, and spas that use Bookly and charge for consultations at the time of booking.
  • Independent service providers who already operate with a PayPal Business account and serve international clients.
  • Studios, schools, and professionals who wish to confirm appointments only after payment approval.

Designed for those who operate Bookly as a booking engine and need a direct way to receive service payments through PayPal, without implementing a custom gateway.
