How to configure accepted payment methods

Learn how to control which payment methods clients see, protect bookings with cards on file, and balance automation with flexibility.

Where to find Accepted Payments

  1. Click your Outfitter Name (top left).

  2. Open the drop-down menu.

  3. Select Accepted Payments.


Set up payment plans for invoices and web checkout
This setting allows clients to pay a deposit without scheduling the remaining balance.

  • Leave this off to use Brindlechute’s default automation (deposit plus scheduled future charge).

  • Turn this on if you want clients to be able to pay only a deposit with no remaining payment scheduled.


Require a card on file for offline payments (Card to Book)
When Card to Book is on, clients must add a card even if they choose Cash, Check, Venmo, or another offline method.
This keeps a card on file for incidentals, damages, or no-shows.


Control reminders for offline payment bookings
With Payment Reminders for Custom Offline Payment Bookings turned on, clients paying by Cash, Check, or Venmo will not receive automated deposit reminders. This allows time for manual payment coordination.


Manage payment methods for invoices and web checkout

  • Card and Bank Transfer are always available.

  • Add offline methods by clicking Add Offline Payment Method.

  • Enter a description (for example: “Send Check to ____,” “Send to @YourVenmo”).

  • Toggle off to keep the method internal only.

  • Toggle on to show it to clients during checkout.

Best practice is to keep offline methods hidden from online checkout to maintain automation, and use them manually when needed.
