Frequently asked questions
Still curious? Get in touch — we reply fast.
Yes — Business and Executive both come with a free trial so you can explore everything before you pay. You get one trial per account.
Absolutely. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated, so you only pay the difference. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period, so you keep your features until then.
Annual billing saves you around 17%. Business is $390/year (vs $468 billed monthly) and Executive is $690/year (vs $828 billed monthly).
Extra staff and locations are billed on a separate monthly subscription. Adding one is prorated and takes effect right away; removing one is non-refundable but you keep the seat or location until the end of the period.
The Free plan is capped at 5 bookings per month. When you need more, upgrade to Business for unlimited bookings, SMS reminders and marketing tools.
All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD).
When you take payment through Bookka you get paid directly into your own Stripe account. An online card payment costs 2.2% + 30¢ all in, GST inclusive on Australian cards — Stripe’s own 1.65% + 30¢ plus a 0.55% Bookka fee. In person Bookka takes nothing at all: you pay only Stripe’s own rate, which is 1.65% + 10¢ on a card reader. Cash, your own EFTPOS machine and redeeming a gift card cost nothing. An international card is dearer, because Stripe charges 3.5% on one. If you take a deposit at booking and the balance later, those are two separate payments, so the fixed fee applies to each. You’re the merchant of record, so payouts, refunds and any disputes are handled on your own Stripe account. Bookings without an online payment are always free, and booking on Bookka is always free for your customers.
