What does Bookdara cost?

Nothing to start. Bookdara takes 5% of each payment made online through your page, with no monthly fee. The Paystack or Flutterwave processing fee is separate.

Who pays the booking fee?

You choose in Settings: your business, from your share, or your customer, as a booking fee added at checkout.

When does the money reach my bank?

Paystack or Flutterwave settles it to the account you connected, on their usual schedule. Bookdara never holds it.

Do my customers need an account?

No. They book as guests with a name, email and phone number, then use the link in their email to cancel, move the time or pay a balance.

Can I take a deposit instead of the full price?

Yes: a percentage such as 30% or 50%, or a fixed naira amount. Customers can still pay in full.

Not yet. Each business has one owner login and one location.
