Credit Card on File

Looking to store or hold a client's credit card on file for future charges? Here's how to handle this with Sesami and Shopify.

How Payments Work with Sesami

Sesami doesn't process payments directly — payments are handled through Shopify's checkout system. Shopify maintains PCI compliance, which means merchants cannot manually store credit card numbers in Shopify admin.

Downpay is a Shopify app that works well with Sesami and offers:

  • Card on file via Shopify's API

  • Deposits and partial payments

  • Capture the remaining balance from the order page or POS

Alternative Approaches

  • Send an invoice to the customer for the remaining balance

  • Charge a deposit at booking and collect the rest at the appointment (see Deposits)

  • Deposits — collect partial payment at booking

  • Tips — add tipping to checkout
