In this SuiteDash 101 tutorial, I walk you through how to create a PAID Booking Appointment Generator (what SuiteDash used to call an “appointment type”). The goal is simple: stop managing paid bookings manually and let SuiteDash handle the flow—pay first, then book. I build it live so you can see exactly where it lives (Calendar → Generators), what changes when you toggle from free to paid, and the little things you’ll want to know upfront—like the fact that switching to paid removes the success message/button options. Before you can even turn on a paid appointment, there are prerequisites. I show you how to set up your payment gateway (I like Stripe; you can use Braintree or Authorize.net, and yes PayPal exists but I don’t recommend it). Then we create the Item that the appointment will charge for, set the rate, and make sure your calendar is actually two-way synced (Google or Microsoft) so you’re not out here with “free booked links” and messy availability. Finally, we build the Booking Form and connect the appointment generator(s). I explain form assignments vs shared automations, how I think about roles (prospect vs client), and where to customize target notifications, portal invites, and redirects. The end result is clean: paid bookings show “Confirm and Pay,” free ones don’t—and it’s honestly way more streamlined than I expected.
