Oskar makes it simple to collect payments — whether you want to accept credit cards online, take cash on-site, or run a mix of both.
All payment settings live in:
Organization Menu (top left) → Settings → Payment & Checkout

​
Connect Stripe for Online Payments

To enable secure online payments, connect your Stripe account.
Follow our guide:
How to Connect Stripe → Once Stripe is connected, clients can pay using:
  • Credit & debit cards
  • Bank payments (depending on region)
  • Digital wallets (Apple Pay / Google Pay, if supported)
Oskar automatically handles:
  • PCI-compliance
  • Secure card storage (via Stripe, not Oskar)
  • Instant failed-payment feedback
  • Refund processing
If Stripe is not connected: ➡️ Oskar automatically switches to offline payments.

​
Offline Payments (Default if Stripe Is Not Connected)

Offline payments let clients book and pay later using:
  • Cash
  • Bank transfer
  • Invoice
  • Pay-on-arrival
  • Any text instruction you define
To customize these:
Settings → Payment & Checkout → Offline Payments You can rename methods (e.g., “Pay at the front desk”) and add custom instructions.

​
Currency & Tax Settings

Under Payment & Checkout, you can:
  • Choose your default currency

If payments are disabled for a service: ➡️ Clients can book without paying.

​
Deposits (COMING SOON)

Deposits can be set per service or per event. You can choose:
  • A fixed amount (e.g., $20 deposit)
