Payments

The BA Book Everything plugin provides one default payment option "Pay later", which means that payment for the booking will be made offline.

Online payment processing is implemented using additional plugins that integrate popular payment gateways with BA Book Everything plugin. You can find available payment plugins in our store.

After activating the payment add-on activate a purchased license key and add your payment account settings in the BA Settings → Payments admin menu.

As an example, with "BABE Payment pack" add-on you can extend BA Book Everything plugin to accept PayPal payments and credit card payments on your site with PayPal and Stripe payment gateways.

Note

Any payment service is provided by the payment provider company, not by payment plugins.

Therefore, you need first to select payment provider from all those available in your region, contact them to define if they suit your business and you can create a business payment account in the needed payment system. After this you can check if the appropriate payment gateway add-on is present in our store.

For example, PayPal may not work in your region or may not allow you to create a business account. In this case, you will not be able to use this payment plugin.
