Paying for a tutoring session should feel as straightforward as booking one. SkillBridge uses Stripe Checkout so card details stay with Stripe — we never store your full card number on our servers.
How booking and payment connect.
When you pick a tutor and an open slot, SkillBridge creates a pending booking and sends you to Stripe Checkout. Completing checkout marks the booking as paid and notifies the tutor. Until payment succeeds, the slot is held only briefly so calendars stay fair for everyone.
What happens after a successful payment.
Your booking appears on the student dashboard. The tutor can confirm or decline from their sessions view. Once confirmed, the session is on both calendars, and you can message your tutor from the inbox to share materials or questions.
Pending unpaid bookings.
If you leave Checkout without finishing, the pending booking expires after about thirty minutes. That frees the slot for other learners and keeps tutors’ schedules accurate.
Cancellations and timing.
Confirmed sessions can be cancelled from your bookings page when you still meet the notice window (at least two hours before the scheduled start). Pending requests you no longer want can usually be withdrawn before the tutor confirms. If something goes wrong with a charge or a tutor cancels a confirmed session, contact support so we can help resolve it through Stripe’s refund flow when appropriate.
Receipts and history.
You can review past bookings and payment-related status in your dashboard. Keep an eye on email from Stripe for official receipts.
The goal is simple: transparent pricing on the tutor card, secure checkout, and a clear path from payment to a confirmed live session.
