With payment requests, you can queue up bookings in your Control Panel and send the customer a request to enter their own payment info online.
This can be handy in a variety of situations, for example:
Avoid asking the customer to read their card number over the phone
Avoid physically touching a credit card for in-person bookings

Clicking the payment button takes them to a page where they can enter their own payment info and complete their booking:
If you use Stripe as your payment processor, we'll store this card and make it available to you for subsequent payments, just as we do for other Stripe payments.
