How to add card capture or a payment requirement to a booking option

Secure your special events, set menus, and promotions by attaching card capture or prepayment rules to specific booking options

Adding a card capture or payment requirement to a booking option ensures that your high-demand events, holidays, or special promotions are protected against no-shows. By linking payment rules directly to a booking option, you can collect prepayments or hold card details securely.

Important info: Card capture and payment requirements can be applied selectively, meaning you can protect specific ticketed events without changing your standard table booking settings.

How to link payments to a booking option

1: Navigate to your payment or card capture settings in your simpleERB dashboard.
2: Create or edit your payment rule, specifying whether you require full prepayment or card details stored.
3: Select the specific booking option you wish to apply the payment or card capture rule to.
4: Save your configuration so customers are prompted for payment or card details when selecting that option on the widget.
