When you connect your Simple Salon account with your Stripe account, you can take payments via your Online Booking site! Your Stripe account allows you to start taking payments straight away, and you don't need a Merchant Account from the bank.
The following article will show you how to connect your Stripe account to Simple Salon, so you can take payments for Online Bookings, e.g. taking full payment, taking deposits or selling gift vouchers.

Then click the Actions menu, and select Stripe:
Click Sign Up under Stripe Gateway settings. You'll be taken over to Stripe:

Once you've logged in using your Stripe login details, you'll need to select the Stripe account you'd like to connect to Simple Salon (alternatively you can create a new Stripe account):
After clicking Connect you will be redirected back to Simple Salon:
You'll now be connected, and redirected back to your Simple Salon account. As you can see, you're now connected to Stripe:
