MoeGo provides a flexible and streamlined checkout experience to help you collect payments quickly, reduce errors, and manage complex payment scenarios with confidence.

In MoeGo, appointment status and payment status are managed separately, giving you full control over when and how you charge clients.

This article focuses on taking payment after a service is completed.
For charging before the service starts, see: Prepayment in MoeGo.
