Can a booking be charged in a customer’s preferred currency?

This depends on the provider’s currency and conversion support, merchant eligibility and how the rate is disclosed. Confirm the rate, fees and settlement currency.

How do we handle a deposit and later balance?

Agree whether each is a separate transaction, the payment method’s support for later charges and the customer-consent steps.

Can payments be refunded after a cancellation?

Refund capability and timing depend on the original payment method, provider and available funds. Set expectations and exception handling before launch.

Are there restricted businesses?

Yes. We cannot service cannabis, adult products and services, or gambling. Other categories may need extra review.
