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. In this article, we will review each option.
