A deposit holds the slot
A missed appointment is an hour you cannot sell again. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card the moment a client books, so the people who book are the people who turn up.
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 on any appointment
Set a fixed deposit on each type of appointment, taken by card as the client books, with the rest paid on the day. A longer first visit can ask for more, a quick adjustment for less, whatever suits how you work.
- A deposit set per appointment type
- Taken by card at the moment of booking
- The balance paid on the day
- More for the slots you most want protected
The rest paid the way you work
The balance is settled your usual way: in person after the session, by bank transfer, or by card where you offer it. The deposit already counts towards the total, so the client only pays what is left.
- The deposit comes off the total
- Balance in person, by transfer or by card
- Card offered only where you switch it on
- The client sees exactly what is left to pay

Common questions
- How much deposit can I ask for?
- You set it per appointment type, as a fixed amount. You can ask for more on a long first visit and nothing on a quick adjustment, whatever fits how you work.
- What happens to the deposit if a client reschedules?
- As long as they move the appointment within the notice period you set, the deposit carries over to the new time rather than being lost.
