Collecting payment from your clients at booking time through Stripe isn't available in Cal Clear yet — it's on our roadmap. Cal Clear does use a payment processor (Dodo Payments) for its own $0.99/mo Pro subscription, but it does not yet take client payments at booking via Stripe. Here's the honest status.
Coming soon: Stripe isn't available for pay-at-booking in Cal Clear yet — it's on our roadmap. Cal Clear currently processes only its own Pro subscription (via Dodo Payments), not payments from your clients.
What works today
Cal Clear's scheduling is free forever: Google Calendar conflict checking, automatic Google Meet links, custom form fields, buffers, per-date hours, privacy controls, and confirmation/reschedule/cancel emails with .ics attachments. The optional $0.99/mo Pro plan is billed through Dodo Payments — that's the only payment flow in the product today.
Stripe on our roadmap
Taking a deposit or full payment from your client at the moment they book — via Stripe — is planned but not built. Until it ships, Cal Clear won't charge your invitees through Stripe.
What you can do today
We won't invent a workaround: Cal Clear can't collect client payments through Stripe today. If you need to be paid at booking right now, you'd handle that outside Cal Clear (for example, sending your own Stripe payment link to the client separately). Native pay-at-booking is on our roadmap.
Why we build slowly and say so honestly
Cal Clear is privacy-first and free forever. We'd rather ship a small number of integrations that genuinely work than list a directory of connections that don't. When Stripe lands, it'll do exactly what this page describes — and until then, we won't pretend otherwise.
When you don't need this integration
If your sessions are free, or you invoice clients separately after the call, you don't need payment integration at all — Cal Clear's free scheduling covers you completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cal Clear integrate with Stripe?
Not for taking client payments yet — that's on our roadmap. Cal Clear currently uses Dodo Payments only for its own $0.99/mo Pro subscription, not for pay-at-booking through Stripe.
What does the Cal Clear + Stripe setup cost?
Cal Clear is free forever, with an optional $0.99/mo Pro plan. There's no Stripe integration to pay for yet — it's on our roadmap. When it ships, we'll document any cost clearly right here.
Is Stripe support available on the free plan?
There's no Stripe integration on any plan yet — it's on our roadmap. Cal Clear's core scheduling (Google Calendar conflict checking, automatic Google Meet links, custom forms, reminder emails with .ics attachments) is free forever, and Pro is $0.99/mo.
