Our Take
Repeat business shouldn't cost your customer a second checkout.
For a service built on repeat, high-trust clientele, asking someone to re-enter payment details every booking isn't just friction — it's a sign the operation hasn't caught up to the relationship. Storing payment methods securely turned checkout into a formality instead of a task, which is what infrastructure is supposed to do: disappear.
If part of this sounds familiar, here's where that conversation starts.
