Payment Processing: Payments for consultations are processed by Stripe using a credit or debit card. Payment is charged when the booking is made, confirming the appointment.

Wentury takes a 10% fee on each consultation. Stripe applies a processing fee of 2.5% + 2 NOK, which may vary by currency and payment method.
