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.

Recommended: Downpay

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)
