Payments

Online payments let customers pay you, or leave a deposit, directly on your website in a few taps, with the money landing in your own bank account. A1 Digital connects everything to a trusted provider so it’s secure, and so you never handle the technical side.

Why take payments online

• Fewer lost sales. Letting people pay on the spot removes the gap where deals go cold.
• Fewer no-shows. A deposit at booking dramatically reduces missed appointments.
• Faster cash flow. Money settles to your bank automatically, no chasing invoices.
• It looks professional and safe, which matters most at the moment of paying.

What’s included

• A secure payment setup connected to a trusted provider (such as Stripe)
• One-off payments and deposits, take a booking deposit or a full payment
• Cards and popular wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay where supported)
• Payouts to your bank, the money is always yours and goes straight to you
• No card details on your site, sensitive data is handled by the payment provider, not stored by us, which keeps you secure and compliant

How it works

1. You connect (or we help you create) a payment account in your name, the money is always yours.
2. We add secure pay or deposit buttons to your site.
3. Customers pay; you’re notified and funds settle to your bank.

What does it cost?

The setup is what we handle. The payment provider (e.g. Stripe) charges its own small fee per transaction, typically a percentage plus a few cents, paid to them, not to us. We’ll point you to the current rates so there are no surprises.

FAQ

Is it secure? Yes. Card details are processed by the payment provider on PCI-compliant infrastructure and never stored on your site. The padlock and encryption are part of your managed website.

Can I take deposits for bookings? Yes, payments pair with online booking so customers book and pay a deposit in one flow, which cuts no-shows.

Whose account does the money go to? Yours. The payment account is in your name and payouts go to your bank. You own it, see Cancelling & your data.

Can I sell products, not just services? Simple product payments, yes. For a full online shop with inventory, ask us, it’s available as an add-on.

Payments work best alongside online booking (book + deposit) and your lead capture flow.
