常見問題集
-
Do customers need a PayPal account to pay?
-
No. Customers can pay with any credit or debit card without creating a PayPal account. When they click “Pay with PayPal”, they see options to either log in to PayPal OR pay as a guest with a card.
-
What happens if a payment fails?
-
The booking is not confirmed. The customer sees an error message and can either:
- Try again with a different payment method
- Update their payment information
- Contact you directly
You won’t see failed payment attempts in your bookings list, only successful payments create confirmed bookings.
-
Are there PayPal fees?
-
Yes, PayPal charges standard processing fees (usually around 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US). These fees are deducted from what you receive. Check PayPal’s current rates for your country at paypal.com/fees.
-
Can I use this with Bookster’s free version?
-
Yes! This addon works perfectly with the free Bookster plugin. You don’t need Bookster Pro to accept PayPal payments.
-
What’s the difference between Sandbox and Live mode?
-
- Sandbox Mode: For testing. Uses fake money and test PayPal accounts. Transactions aren’t real.
- Live Mode: For real business. Uses your actual PayPal account and processes real payments.
Always test in Sandbox mode first before switching to Live.
