A deposit holds the date
A job that needs a new mechanism ordered in ties up your money before you start. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card when the job is booked, so the parts are covered and the slot is held.
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 job is booked
Set a deposit on the work, taken by card when the customer books, with the balance due on completion. A job that needs a multi-point unit or a set of matching cylinders can carry a bigger deposit, so the parts you order in are paid toward before they arrive.

- Covers the parts you order in
- Bigger jobs can hold a bigger deposit
- The balance due when the work is done
The rest settled your way
The deposit comes off the total, so the customer only owes the balance. Settle it by card from an invoice, by bank transfer, or in person once the lock is fitted, whatever suits the two of you, and a reminder goes out before the visit.

Common questions
- Can I ask for a deposit to cover parts?
- Yes. You set the deposit per job, so a job that needs a new mechanism or a set of cylinders can carry a larger deposit, taken by card when the customer books.
- What happens to the deposit on a cancellation?
- The deposit is taken at booking and recorded against the job, so a date held is paid toward rather than held on trust. Your own terms decide what happens to it on a cancellation.
