Gold Star Pro now enables users to collect payments for recurring appointments directly from the booking widget. This feature is designed to streamline payment collection, making it easier to manage ongoing appointments and reduce manual payment follow-ups.

Key Payment Options for Recurring Appointments

When setting up payment collection for recurring appointments, users can now choose between two flexible options:

1. Collect Payment for First Appointment Only
   Collect payment only for the initial appointment. Payments for future appointments in the series will need to be manually collected, providing a simple approach to secure a commitment for the first session.

2. Collect Payment for All Appointments
   For a more streamlined experience, collect the total upfront for all scheduled appointments in the series. The exact amount may vary based on the number of appointments the client books, which is influenced by your calendar’s availability.

Note: Partial payments are currently not supported for recurring appointments.
