Bookings and payments for alterations
An alteration is a job you take in, not a meeting you sit through. Soopaspace lets a customer pay for a simple job upfront, quote the bigger pieces with a deposit, and keep the money sorted before the item is collected.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

A simple job, paid when it comes in
Most alterations are straightforward: a hem taken up, a waist taken in, a seam repaired. You list the job at a set price, the customer pays for it upfront when they drop the item in, and they collect it when it is ready. There is no appointment to book and nothing sits in a diary, which is exactly how a drop-off job should work.
- List a common alteration at a set price
- The customer pays upfront when they drop it in
- No appointment, nothing in the diary
- They collect it when it is ready
The bigger pieces, quoted with a deposit
Bridal work, a restyle or a tricky repair is not a price off a list. The customer enquires from your page, you look the piece over and send a clear quote, and a card deposit on it holds the job before you cut a thread. The balance is invoiced when the piece is finished.
- A clear quote for the more involved work
- A card deposit holds the job
- The balance invoiced when it is finished
- Paid and overdue tracked for you
The money sorted before collection
When a piece is ready, the payment is already handled: taken upfront on a simple job, or invoiced and paid by card on a quoted one. Paid, part-paid and overdue are tracked for you, and a polite reminder chases anyone who is slow, so collection day is not the moment you have to ask for money.
- Paid upfront, or invoiced and paid by card
- Paid, part-paid and overdue tracked
- A polite reminder chases the slow payers
- No awkward money talk at collection
