How it works

1) Setup: Set the deposit amount needed to book an appointment online. This can be a percentage of the service cost (e.g. 20%), a set amount (e.g. $20) or the full cost of the service. Then set your cancellation policy so that your clients know what happens to the deposit if the client cancels.

2) Client Booking: When your clients make an appointment via Online Booking they’ll be asked to pay a deposit with their credit card or PayPal account to secure their booking.

Note:  Online Booking cancel and reschedule is turned off for any Online Bookings that have a deposit.

3) At your business: When the client finishes their appointment and comes to pay, they only need to pay you the remaining balance.

4) Cancellations & no-shows: If your client cancels or no shows you have the option to keep or refund their deposit, depending on your preference.
