Retreat payment plans
Let guests secure their place with a deposit, then collect the rest on the dates you choose. PlanPacer gives retreat organisers a clear Stripe-backed payment schedule without manual invoices, awkward reminders or a custom booking system.
Example schedule
A real payment plan, not another spreadsheet
Retreat operator pain
People often want to reserve a place before they can pay the full retreat fee.
You still need deposits early to protect venue, catering and facilitator costs.
Manual bank transfers and invoices create reminder work, reconciliation and late-payment anxiety.
Payment dates usually depend on the retreat date, not a generic subscription cycle.
Workflow
Use your existing Stripe account through Stripe Connect. PlanPacer does not hold your funds.
Choose a deposit, instalment dates and final-balance date for each retreat place.
The guest sees the deposit, future dates and amounts before they pay.
Keep a clear view of paid, upcoming and attention-needed payments.
Examples
30% deposit today, final balance 14 days before arrival.
25% deposit, two instalments, final balance 30 days before arrival.
Deposit plus monthly payments, with the final payment before your venue cutoff.
