How to enable Pay by Venmo
Enabling the “Payment on Arrival” option in WP Booking System allows your customers to pay in person when they arrive for their booking. Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting it up:
1. Access Payment Methods:
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to WP Booking System in the left-hand menu.
- Click on Settings.
- Go to the Payment Methods tab.
2. Activate “Payment on Arrival”:
- In the list of available payment methods, locate Payment on Arrival.
- Check the box or toggle the switch to activate this payment method.
3. Configure Display Name and Description:
- After activation, you’ll see options to customize:
- Display Name: This is the label customers will see during the booking process. Change this to “Venmo”
- Description: Provide details or instructions about this payment option. Change this to “Pay by Venmo at least 30 days before check-in. Venmo Account @namehere”.
4. Save Changes:
- Once you’ve configured the settings, scroll down and click Save Changes to apply them.
Important Note: The “Payment on Arrival” method doesn’t support partial payments or deposits. If you prefer to accept a deposit upfront with the remaining balance paid on arrival, consider using the Bank Transfer option, which supports part payments.
