MioCommerce gives you flexible ways to charge your customers or record payments, depending on how the payment is collected.

When charging a customer from a booking, you can either:

  • Charge the customer directly using MioPay (Stripe), or

  • Record a payment collected through another method

Charge Using MioPay (Powered by Stripe)

When you select Charge using MioPay (with Stripe), you can process secure online payments directly from the booking.

Supported payment methods include:

  • Credit Card

  • Debit Card

These payments are processed securely through Stripe, and the charge is applied instantly to the booking.

Record a Payment Collected Through Another Method

If you collected payment outside of MioCommerce, you can record it for accurate tracking.

Available collection methods include:

  • Cash

  • Cheque

  • Interac e-Transfer

  • eCheck

  • PAD

  • PayPal (External)

  • Square (External)

  • Venmo

  • Zelle (External)

  • Coupon

  • IMS

  • ITEX

  • None (for manual adjustments)

Recording a payment ensures your booking balance and reports stay accurate, even when the payment happens outside the platform.

How to Choose the Right Option

  • Use MioPay (Stripe) when you want to charge the customer directly from the booking

  • Record a collection when the customer has already paid using cash, cheque, or another external method

Both options keep your financial records accurate and tied to the booking.

Where You’ll See These Options

When charging a customer:

  1. Open the booking

  2. Click Charge Customer

  3. Choose whether to:

    • Charge using MioPay, or

    • Record as collected through another method

  4. Select the appropriate payment option from the dropdown
