payments integration
Bookify + PayPal
Accept PayPal at booking. Funds go directly to your PayPal merchant account — zero platform fee from Bookify.
What the PayPal integration does
- Direct-to-merchant via PayPal Commerce — funds land in your PayPal account immediately on capture.
- Bookify takes zero percent. PayPal's own per-transaction fee is the only deduction.
- Bookers see PayPal's full checkout: PayPal balance, linked bank, or any card PayPal accepts.
- Refund any past booking from the dashboard — PayPal handles the credit back to the original payment method.
How to connect PayPal
- Open /dashboard/payments and click 'Connect PayPal'.
- Sign into your PayPal business account and approve the integration (Partner Referrals flow).
- Return to Bookify; the connection turns Active once PayPal confirms your account is fully verified.
- On any event type, toggle 'Collect payment' and pick PayPal as the rail.
- First booking → buyer pays via PayPal → funds appear in your account immediately.

This integration shows up most often in these kinds of businesses.
Bookify for freelancers
Send one link instead of negotiating times. Charge deposits upfront. Look professional from the first email — without paying $30/mo for the privilege.

Send one Bookify link. Prospects pick a slot in their timezone, optionally pay your deposit, and the meeting hits both your calendars.
Bookify for coaches
One link, packages of sessions, recurring weekly time blocks, and a booking page that looks like you. Cards on file, reminders that show up.
Bookify for agencies
Per-account-manager pages, payment collection on retainers, role-based access, and the team analytics that show you who's busy and who's not.
FAQ
+Do I need a PayPal Business account?
Yes — PayPal requires a business account for the merchant-receive flow. Upgrading from personal is free and takes a few minutes.
+Can I offer both Stripe and PayPal on the same booking page?
Yes. If both are connected, the booker chooses at checkout. Single-rail orgs skip the chooser.
+How are refunds handled?
From the booking's detail page in Bookify, click Refund. Bookify calls PayPal to issue the refund; the credit goes back to the buyer's original payment method.
