Prepayments - Booksy

Deposits

Charge a deposit at the time of booking, and we’ll automatically apply it to the total service charge at checkout. Keep the money if they flake.

Free automatic appointment reminders

We’ll send your client a reminder text about their upcoming appointment, so you don’t have to. Appointment notifications can cut your no-shows in half.

Cancellation Fees

Require a card-on-file, and charge a fee if a client cancels too late or ghosts you.

You set the rules, we’ll take care of the rest.

Avoid awkward conversations or chasing down clients for payments when they don't show. We’ll charge the card on file for you based on the policy you set.

You decide:

  • which services require a Deposit or Cancellation Fee, and the % of the service cost to be charged.
  • how much advance notice is required for no-fee cancellations or rescheduling.
  • whether to process or waive the Cancellation Fee, or set it so we automatically charge it for you.

Get paid for your time

No chasing payments required. With a card-on-file, we’ll collect Cancellation Fees and Deposits for you. 

No-Show Protection payments are processed at just 1.29% + 20p per transaction.
