Because you can now launch your gorgeous Paperbell site WITHOUT connecting any payment processor first! (If you want to.)

This is perfecto for coaches who want to start with free offerings. Maybe you’re:

  • Still in training and want to offer free practice sessions

For Free Packages: Your site goes live immediately! Clients can book free discovery calls, attend free workshops, or schedule complimentary sessions. Everything works perfectly without any payment setup.

For Paid Packages: The moment you want to charge for a package, you’ll need to connect either Stripe or PayPal so you can get paid instantly. But until then? Your site is live and ready!

If you’ve been waiting to get your site live because the payment setup felt overwhelming, today’s your day! Your beautiful coaching site can be live in the next 10 minutes!
