Payment FAQs
What are the processing fees?
HoneyBook offers competitive rates: 2.9% + 25¢ for card payments or 1.5% for ACH. One fee applies per transaction with no hidden charges or deposit fees.
Do you automatically move client payments to my bank account?
Yes, HoneyBook deposits funds directly into your account and lets you track paid, upcoming, and outstanding payments—along with estimated deposit dates.
Can I use my own payment processor?
HoneyBook processes all credit card and ACH bank transfer payments to keep your business info in one place. If you do use use other payment methods such as check, PayPal, or Venmo, you can manually mark outside payments as paid.
Can I pass transaction fees onto my clients?
HoneyBook doesn't currently offer a built-in way to pass processing fees to client. However, if you want to do that—and your jurisdiction allows for it—you can add processing fees as a new tax. Simply rename it to "Service fee," add your percentage or flat fee, and apply it to services in your invoice.
What if my client disputes a payment they made?
Client disputes can be a headache, but here’s the good news—we work with you to understand the situation instead of automatically refunding your client. Our disputes team will contact you to get relevant details from you in order to resolve the situation in the best way possible.
