How do payment links work?

A payment link books and charges one dated session with someone who is not on Fitiva; when they pay, the session lands in your calendar.

Good to know

  • Customer name, amount and date are required.
  • A payment link needs Stripe connected under Financials. Without it, the form warns you, and a link you send is refused when the customer tries to pay.
  • Fees: your plan's platform fee plus Stripe's card fee of 1.5% + €0.25.
  • For an athlete on your roster, use Send booking link on their Billing tab: the same form, already filled in. To ask a roster athlete for money that is not a session, send a payment request.
  • Packages are sold under Session Packages in Financials, not with a payment link.
