Easy Payments with Arrangr using Stripe
How it Works
Once you have set up your scheduling page to accept payments, your clients will see the price when they visit your scheduling page, as shown in the image below:
Then, once your client clicks the "Continue" button on the Review step of your scheduling page, they'll be prompted to enter their payment info, as shown in the image below:
Instant-Book Meetings
When your client submits their payment info, we have Stripe authorize the charge on their card without actually charging it (similar to when a hotel places a hold on your card but doesn't charge you until you check out). After authorizing the charge, Arrangr double-checks that you're still available for the time they submitted. If so, we book the meeting and capture the charge on your behalf, so the funds go directly to you. If the time they selected is no longer available, Arrangr will not yet capture the charge and will prompt them to select another time. If they bail, their card will never be charged, although the authorization may show up on their credit card statement. However, if they select a new time and resubmit, Arrangr will not have to re-collect their payment info and will still capture the charge as soon as the meeting is booked.
Non-Instant-Book Meetings
If your scheduling page does not use Instant-Book, Arrangr will collect their payment info and authorize the charge when they submit their invitation. Even though they have authorized the charge, the payment is not captured until the meeting is confirmed (when you accept the time they proposed). It's important to note, however, that their authorization of the charge is only valid for 7 days, so the meeting must be booked within that time frame to ensure the payment is captured successfully.
If you decline their invitation or do not confirm a meeting time within 7 days, their card will not be charged. They may see an item on their card statement indicating they authorized the charge, which can be confusing. However, until Arrangr actually captures the charge on their behalf, no funds are transferred. If it doesn't happen, the amount will be returned to their balance.
Back-and-Forth Invitations
If they authorize a charge when sending you an invite, Arrangr will still capture the charge when they accept your counter-proposal, even if you respond with alternative times. Even if there are a few back-and-forth messages before a time is confirmed, the charge will be captured once a time is confirmed, as long as it is within 7 days of the original charge authorization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I embed booking pages in my website?
Yes, it is possible to embed Arrangr scheduling pages in your website. Arrangr offers an embed code that you can copy and paste into your website's HTML code, allowing you to display your Arrangr scheduling page directly on your website.
Can Arrangr prevent double booking?
Yes, Arrangr can prevent double booking by checking for conflicting appointments when someone tries to schedule a new appointment. If a conflict is detected, Arrangr will not allow the appointment to be scheduled and will display a message indicating that the time slot is already booked.
Arrangr achieves this by keeping track of all scheduled appointments in real-time and checking for conflicts whenever a new appointment is added. This feature helps ensure that your schedule remains accurate and up-to-date, and helps prevent the frustration that can arise from double booking.
Additionally, Arrangr allows you to set buffer times between appointments, which can help prevent overlap and ensure that you have enough time to prepare for each appointment. You can also set custom availability for each day of the week, which can help you avoid scheduling conflicts based on your unique schedule.
Can Arrangr overlay my calendar with others to find the perfect time?
Yes, Arrangr can overlay your calendar with others to find the perfect time for a meeting or appointment. This feature is called "Calendar Overlay" and it allows you to see the availability of all participants in one view, making it easier to find a time that works for everyone.
When scheduling a meeting or appointment, simply select the "Calendar Overlay" option and enter the email addresses of the participants. Arrangr will then display a calendar view that shows the availability of all participants side-by-side, making it easy to find a time slot that works for everyone.
Calendar Overlay is particularly useful when scheduling meetings with people outside your organization, such as clients or partners, as it allows you to see their availability without having to share your calendar with them. It can also help you avoid the back-and-forth of scheduling emails and make the scheduling process more efficient.
Does Arrangr learn my favorites to save time the more I use it?
Arrangr has a feature called "Smart Suggestions" that can learn your preferences over time to save you time and make the scheduling process more efficient.
Smart Suggestions works by analyzing your past scheduling behavior and making recommendations based on your preferences. For example, if you tend to schedule meetings on certain days or at certain times, Arrangr may suggest those options to you first. It can also suggest preferred meeting locations, duration, and other preferences based on your past behavior.
Additionally, Arrangr allows you to create templates for common types of meetings, which can save you time by pre-filling meeting details such as duration, location, and attendees. You can also set recurring availability for certain days or times, which can save you time by automatically blocking out those times for scheduling.
Overall, Arrangr's Smart Suggestions and other features are designed to make the scheduling process as efficient and streamlined as possible, and to help you save time by automating repetitive tasks and learning your preferences over time.
