A deposit holds the booking
A week of sits booked over a holiday is a week you have turned other work away for. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card when the owner books, so a block 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 sit or a run of visits, taken by card the moment the owner books, with the balance paid nearer the time or after. A longer block can carry a bigger deposit, so the more you hold, the more is secured.
- A deposit set on a sit or a run
- Taken by card at the moment of booking
- The balance paid nearer the time
- More held for the longer blocks
Fewer gaps you cannot fill
When an owner has paid toward a run, a cancelled holiday is far less likely to leave your week empty with no notice. The deposit comes off the total, so they only pay the rest, and your time is committed by both sides.
- Money toward the run means fewer late drop-outs
- The deposit comes off the total
- The balance settled your usual way
- A block held by both sides, not just you

Common questions
- Can I take a deposit for a run of visits 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 or after.
- How much deposit can I ask for?
- You set it per service, as a fixed amount, so a single visit can ask for little or nothing and a long run can hold more, whatever fits how you work.
