PayPal Payments Standard Add-on for BookPro Plugin

PayPal Payments Standard is an add–on for the BookPro plugin that lets your customers pay for their appointments securely with PayPal at checkout. It supports both Sandbox and Live modes, so you can test everything safely before going live.

Important: This is an add–on and requires the BookPro plugin to be installed and activated.

Problems Solved

• Getting paid online. Accept payments for bookings directly through PayPal instead of chasing cash or bank transfers.
• No–shows and cancellations. Taking payment up front during booking reduces no–shows and protects your revenue.
• Checkout trust. Many customers already have PayPal and trust it, so they complete the booking with confidence.
• International payments. Multi–currency support lets you accept bookings from customers around the world.

Who Is This Add-on For?

• Salons, spas and barbershops that want to accept PayPal.
• Businesses collecting prepayment to secure appointments.
• Clinics, studios and freelancers taking online payments.
• Any BookPro site that wants a trusted, familiar checkout option.

Key Benefits

• Get paid instantly. Payments go straight to your PayPal account the moment a customer books, improving your cash flow.
• Reduce no–shows. Requiring payment at the time of booking makes customers far more likely to show up for their appointment.
• A checkout customers trust. PayPal is familiar and widely used, so visitors feel safe paying and more bookings get completed.
• Test before you launch. Sandbox mode lets you try the full payment flow safely, then switch to Live when you are ready.
