# How do 'Offline Payments' work and how do I use them?

### Hey Boss 👋

With Book Like a Boss, you aren't confined to only receiving payments online. You want options so we provide solutions. Choose the method that works best for your business and easily accept payment from your clients in person, or through other offline methods like bank transfer or cheques.

**Online payments** means that your clients will be auto-directed to a payment portal (whichever you have linked to your account) and will be required to pay for the service at the time of booking.

**Offline payments** means that clients can place a booking for a paid service without paying at the time of booking. It is then up to you as to how you'd like to accept payment from your client (invoice them, accept cash in face-to-face meetings, bank transfer, etc.).

You can include info about this in your success message text or in the service description if you would prefer.

### Read the instructions below 🤓

1. Select **Booking Pages** on the top menu, then click **Products & Services** from the dropdown.
2. Click on **New Service** or edit one of your existing ones.
3. From the **General Settings**, scroll down until you find the **Payment options** and just make sure you choose **Offline.**

4. Don't forget to click **Save** at the bottom on the page and there you have it.
