How to collect payments using Doodle + Stripe

Currently, Stripe can be integrated with Booking Page and 1:1. Doodle's Booking Page is a web-based appointment booking tool. With Booking Page, you:

  1. Set the rules that define your availability

  2. Share your unique Booking Page link

  3. Book your event participants quickly, easily - and collect payment before the appointment is confirmed.

Doodle 1:1 is your person-to-person scheduling solution that puts you in full control of the exact dates and times you are available. With 1:1, you:

  1. Enter the basic 1:1 details, like the name of the event and location

  2. Propose dates and times for the event

  3. Share the 1:1 to begin collecting enrollment

When your participants open your Doodle + Stripe booking page or 1:1 link, they will:

  1. Select a date and time to meet

  2. Provide their name and email

  3. Provide payment via Stripe

Only when someone completes these three steps will they receive a confirmation that they have successfully booked a time to meet with you. The GIF below shows an example of what your participants will experience when they book a meeting with you:

Does Doodle collect any commission or fee from a booked event?

Doodle Pro users are not assessed a commission or fee by Doodle for transactions powered by Stripe. Free Doodle users will see a 3% commission for transactions powered by Stripe, or minimum of one unit of your local currency (e.g. $1, €1, etc.)

Stripe collects a commission on every transaction. The fees depend on which currency you use in your region. Please visit Stripe's pricing page as it corresponds to your local currency for more information regarding their fee and commission structure.

Your time is valuable! We encourage all users to build Stripe's fees into their event price.

Does Doodle’s Stripe integration collect sales tax?

No, our payment integrations do not collect VAT/sales tax. We recommend you include any applicable VAT/sales tax into your booking fee. Also, don’t forget to calculate Stripe’s fees as a part of your event booking fee!

What happens if a payment is unsuccessful?

When someone reserves a meeting time that requires a payment, the meeting time is held for 30 minutes for payment processing to occur. If the payment fails, the booked session is cancelled and the time slot is re-released for someone else to book.
