A deposit holds the booking
A week of drop-ins booked over a holiday is a week you have kept clear. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card when the owner books, so a run held far ahead is paid toward rather than held on trust.
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 deposit when the run is booked
Set a deposit on a run of visits, taken by card the moment the owner books, with the balance paid nearer the time or after. A longer trip can carry a bigger deposit, so the more you hold, the more is secured.

- Taken by card at booking
- The balance paid nearer the time
- More held for the longer trips
Fewer gaps you cannot fill
When an owner has paid toward a run, a cancelled trip is far less likely to leave your week empty at short notice. The deposit comes off the total, so they only pay the rest.
- Money toward the run means fewer drop-outs
- The deposit comes off the total

Common questions
- Can I take a deposit for a run booked months ahead?
- Yes. The deposit is taken by card when the owner books and holds the run however far ahead it is, with the balance paid nearer the time.
- How much can I ask for?
- You set it per service, as a fixed amount, so a single visit can ask for little and a long run can hold more, whatever suits you.
