As far as I can tell, all of these only allow billing before-hand, which unfortunately won’t work as a counsellor because there is a HUGE stigma against paying before the session. Does anybody know of a method/booking plugin that allows capture of payment details before the session, and then you can charge them after each appt? I tried to set it up with gravity/stripe and stripe requires some amount of funds to be captured- even if it’s a few cents.
I also tried booknetic, bookly, and amelia, and none seem to have a valid capture/pay later method.
