Taking payments is one of the most important parts of running a class business. It’s also one of the biggest sources of stress. From chasing late payments to managing bank transfers, many providers spend more time on finance than they’d like. The solution is a secure, reliable payment processor integrated directly into your booking system. That’s exactly what you get with Stripe and Book That In.
1. Why Payment Integration Matters
Without a proper payment integration, class providers face problems such as:
- Manual chasing - Asking parents to bring cash or bank transfer each week.
- Inconsistent records - Difficult to reconcile bookings and payments.
- Lower trust - Families hesitate if payment options feel unprofessional.
A fully integrated system makes payments automatic, professional, and stress-free.
2. How Stripe Supports Class Providers
Stripe is one of the world’s leading payment processors, chosen by millions of businesses because it’s:
- Secure - All payments are handled with advanced security, including 3D Secure authentication.
