Payment methods
Under Settings > Payment methods you define how your customers can pay. The payment methods configured here apply to all bookings for your resources. ↗ Open in Locaboo
Managing payment methods
Section titled “Managing payment methods”The overview lists all active payment methods. From here you can add, edit, or delete payment methods.
When creating or editing a payment method you configure:
- Customer groups – for which customer groups the payment method should be available
- Payment method – select the desired payment type
- Description text – shown at checkout for the payment method
Offline payment methods
Section titled “Offline payment methods”| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Prepayment | Customer pays in advance by bank transfer before service |
| Cash (on site) | Customer pays on site when using the resource |
| Invoice | Customer pays after receiving the invoice |
From Locaboo’s perspective there is no functional difference between these three methods. They help you communicate possible payment options clearly to customers.
SEPA direct debit
Section titled “SEPA direct debit”If a customer chooses SEPA at checkout, account holder, IBAN, and BIC are collected. The customer confirms that the invoice amount may be collected by direct debit. The customer number is used as the mandate reference by default – it can be changed later in customer management.
Locaboo does not execute the SEPA collection. For each invoice with SEPA as the payment method you can download the SEPA direct debit as an XML file and import it in your online banking.
Online payments
Section titled “Online payments”To use online payment methods you must first enable online payments. This is only possible with the manager account. Locaboo is not a payment provider – you process payments directly with your customers via the respective payment provider and need your own account there.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| PayPal | Enter API username, API password, and signature from your PayPal account settings in Locaboo |
| Mollie | Over 20 payment methods on one platform. Only enter the API key in Locaboo – enable the desired payment methods in your Mollie account |
| ePayBL | Payment method for municipal customers. You receive integration data (tenant no., project no., etc.) from your payment provider |
Incoming payments
Section titled “Incoming payments”Incoming payments – whether via online payment, cash, or invoice – can be viewed and managed under Billing.
