A job paid upfront, collected when ready
On-demand means you sell the job, not a time slot. A customer pays for an alteration upfront when they drop the item in, and they collect it when it is ready, with no appointment and nothing in your diary.
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.

What on-demand actually means
On-demand means the customer pays now and collects the finished item later: there is no appointment and no diary slot. You list a common alteration at a set price, a hem, a waist taken in, a seam repaired, and the customer pays for it there and then when they drop the garment in. You do the work and have it ready for collection. Because no time is booked, it fits the way a drop-off job really runs.

Common questions
- What is an on-demand alteration?
- A job you sell at a set price with no booked time slot. The customer pays upfront when they drop the item in and collects it when it is ready. A hem, a repair or a waist taken in is bought and paid for like a product.
- When do I get paid?
- Upfront, the moment the customer pays for the job. The work starts already paid for, so there is nothing to chase when the garment is collected.
