1.Schedules daily enable time
Integrate Schedule by Zapier and scheduling tools to trigger the daily enable window at your chosen start time.
Enable front-desk payments processing window daily for staff
Automatically schedule a front-desk payment enable window across Zapier scheduling and automation controls. Turn automation on at staffed start times or on weekend and holiday adjustmentsβso you can enable processing, wait the active window, and turn it off without manual scheduling.
How this automation protects in-person payments windows
When the processing window depends on manual enable and off timing, gaps can block payments or allow off-hours processing. This automation monitors scheduled timing and staffing adjustments, turns the automation on and off, and applies buffer timingβso your team can process payments only during staffed hours.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
