Altegio allows businesses to accept cashless online payments from clients through the online booking widget and by sending a payment link. Once you have signed a contract with a payment processing partner (learn more about connecting Stripe), you need to configure the settings in Altegio.
Important: Altegio does not charge any commission for payments. The bank commission depends on the selected payment provider.
