No time for no-shows

With deposits and automated reminders working together, missed appointments become far less common. 

SMS reminders land in your clients' phones, while deposits keep booking top of mind. For those who repeatedly no-show, block customer is there when needed.

Keeping it real

No-shows cost businesses like yours not only time, but money. In some industries, they account for up to 30% of appointments.

Deposits give clients more reason to show up than just making a booking, and keep your time taken seriously. 

You’re a star (show you are)

Your time, skills, and expertise are why people book. Deposits set clear expectations from the start, ensuring they understand the value before they arrive.

It adds a layer of professionalism to your business — one where your time is respected, even if they don’t show up.

FAQs

How do deposits work?

Choose a fixed amount or percentage for each service. Customers pay that portion at booking, and you collect the rest later, online or in person. Simple, clear, and built around how you work.

Will customers see the full service price?

Yes. The full price is always visible. The deposit shows as the amount due today, with the remaining balance clearly outlined.

What happens if someone cancels?

That’s your call. Keep the deposit, refund it, or apply it to a future appointment. Your cancellation policy, your rules.

Are refunds automatic?

No. You stay in control. If you decide to issue a refund, you can process it through your connected payment provider.

Can I add deposits to specific services only?

Absolutely. Set deposits for high-demand or longer appointments, and keep shorter services flexible. You decide where commitment makes sense.

Do deposits really reduce no-shows?

They do. When customers invest upfront, they’re far more likely to show up. Pair deposits with automated reminders and missed appointments become far less common.
