In this article, we'll go over the various options for saving client credit cards when they book online.
Things to know:
- In MyTime, you can require a credit card on file in order to book appointments, have the credit card on file but not make it a requirement to book an appointment, or not allow credit cards to be saved on file at all. Your preference can be set on the Business Setup > Settings page, just below the Store Client Credit Card option.
- The authorization checkbox is mandatory to complete the booking online once the credit card form is displayed
- In order to accept credit card payments, you must have a merchant payment account. If you don’t have one, you can speak with a member of our Processing Team at processing@mytime.com to have your merchant account set up.
