Never drive out for nothing
When you go to the client, a no-show costs the fuel, the parking and a slot you could have filled. Soopaspace reminds every client before you set off, and you can take a deposit by card, so the people who book are in 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 reminder before you set off
Every client gets an email before their visit, with a link to move it if they need to inside your notice window. A reminder the day before means you are not knocking on a door where nobody is home.
- A reminder before every visit
- A reschedule link inside your notice
- No knocking on an empty house
- Clients move their own time
A deposit worth the drive
For a long journey or a big appointment, ask for a deposit by card when the client books. It holds the slot and comes off the price on the day, so a wasted trip across town is far less likely. Clients who prefer to pay cash on the day can still do that.
- A card deposit holds the slot
- It comes off the price on the day
- Set it on the visits that cost most to lose
- Cash on the day still works too

Common questions
- How do I stop losing petrol to no-shows?
- A reminder before every visit cuts the forgotten ones, and a card deposit on the bookings that matter most means a client has paid toward the appointment before you set off.
- Do all clients have to pay a deposit?
- No. You choose which visits ask for one, so you can take a deposit for a long drive or a big colour and leave your trusted regulars to pay their usual way.
