Can I take payments with Calendly-style scheduling?
Updated November 2026
Yes. On Talkspresso, booking a time and paying are one step. A client picks an open time on your booking page and pays when they book, by card or with PayPal. Nobody gets a time on your calendar until they have paid. Then they get an email with the video link, and Google Calendar stays in sync.
Steps
- Set your hours. Open talkspresso.com/availability. Under Your week, turn each day on and set its hours (Quick set, Monday to Friday fills the weekdays). Check your time zone under Change time zone, then press Save. Until you save hours, nobody can book.
- Set your rules on the same page: Free time before each call and Free time after each call, Minimum notice, How far ahead people can book, Days off, and Away for a stretch of dates.
- Connect Google Calendar at talkspresso.com/settings/calendar-sync and press Connect Google Calendar. Busy times on the calendars you tick are hidden from your page, and new bookings are added to the calendar you pick under New bookings.
- Set up Talkspresso Payments at talkspresso.com/payments. A priced call can't be booked until you do. Paid bookings on a new page open 24 hours after signup.
- Set a cancellation policy on each paid one-on-one service: open it from talkspresso.com/services and press More settings. Clients see the policy at checkout and in their confirmation email.
Intake questions
A service can also ask intake questions, so the client answers them when they book. You see the answers on the booking under What they told you when they booked.
Questions people also ask
Does it sync with Google Calendar?
Yes, on both plans. Google Calendar is the only calendar that connects today. Moving a booking's event in Google Calendar moves the booking, and deleting an upcoming booking's event cancels it and refunds a paid client in full.
Can the same time be booked twice?
No. Bookings go on your Google Calendar, so a paid time cannot be booked twice.
What happens if a client cancels?
You get an email and the time opens up again. On a paid one-on-one service the refund follows your late-cancellation policy. With no policy, they get all their money back.
