Certainly. You can set up your webshop not to accept payment during booking. In this case, bookings are marked as 'UNPAID'.
Please note, in this case you might need to handle bigger amount of no shows than when amount is pre paid, especially at foreseeable future no walk-in services allowed / suggested.
If your Business is able to handle multiple Customers at the same time in accordance with the current Health & Safety Regulations, the way how you wish to handle appointments can be set up in Local Shop Hub.
E.g: if you allow Customers to book a particular staff member upon booking, you can set this up in system as well. In this case Customers can select their preferred staff member or simply choosing "any staff" if they don't wish so.
If you don't wish to let Customers to book particular staff members, your webshop will offer the same number of free appointments at a time as the number of staff available without Customers being able to select their preference and bookings will be allocated to the available staff randomly.
However, Customers will still be able to leave "notes" at checkout and you can take it into consideration to override automatism before the particular timeslot occurs.
Local Shop Hub can handle appointments of any size of on site Businesses, Barber Shops, Hairdressers, Beauty services etc.
If your Business operates with appointment only basis eg. you are a Barber, Hairdresser, Beauty provider or even a Restaurant, etc. your Customers need to book an appointment to you during placing the order. Local Shop Hub offers Appointment Management service for any Business. This can be activated and set up on your Business Dashboard.
Once it is set up on your Dashboard, the system offers available slots to your Customers

Each Business who has a Local Shop Hub Webshop and wishes to accept credit or bank card payments, also has an active business account at our Card Payment Provider - which is currently Stripe. Their Stripe account is linked to their Local Shop Hub account. This enables that:
- Local Shop Hub steps out of being in middle in terms of payment processing;
- Funds of each card payment go directly to the Stripe account of the relevant Businesses straight after an order placed and its payment has been approved by the Stripe - so Local Shop Hub don't receive and forward any funds from any orders placed in Local Shop Hub Webshop, it's fair enough, isn't it?
- The balance of each Stripe account is transferred to each Business' regular Business Current Account linked to their Stripe account every 7 days.
- If an unlikely event occurs (disputes, chargeback from Customers' Card Issuer, etc.), it needs to be handled between the Business and Stripe directly.
Accepting Credit Card payment on Local Shop Hub is based on both Local Shop Hub Business's and Stripe's Terms and Conditions.
