Take a deposit before you drive out
When you travel to the client, a no-show costs you the petrol, the parking and a slot you could have filled. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card the moment someone books, so the people who book are the people who are there when you arrive.
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 that is worth the drive
Set a fixed deposit on any service, taken by card as the client books, with the rest paid at the appointment. A reminder goes out before the visit with a link to reschedule inside your notice period, so a change of plan is a tap, not a wasted journey.
- A deposit at booking, set per service
- Taken by card; clients paying cash pay the rest at the appointment
- A reminder before you set off
- Regulars rebook themselves, deposit and all
Regulars rebook, and plans can change
When a regular books their next appointment from your page, the deposit for that service is taken as they book, the same as anyone else. If something comes up, the reminder email has a link to move the appointment inside the notice period you set, so a change of plan keeps the booking rather than losing it.
- Regulars rebook themselves, deposit taken each time
- A reminder email before every visit
- Clients reschedule inside your notice period from the email
- A moved appointment keeps its deposit

Common questions
- Can I take a deposit before travelling to a client?
- Yes. Each service can carry a fixed deposit, taken by card when the client books, with the balance paid at the appointment. Services without a deposit are booked as normal.
- What if a client needs to move an appointment they have paid a deposit on?
- The reminder email has a reschedule link. As long as they move it within the notice period you set, the appointment and its deposit carry over to the new time rather than being lost.
