A deposit holds the dates
Blocking out days for a job that falls through is time you cannot earn back. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card when the job is booked, so the dates you set aside are dates that happen.
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 job, taken by card when the customer accepts, with the balance due on completion. A bigger job that blocks out a few days, or needs a stack of plaster and bonding bought in, can carry a bigger deposit, so you are not funding the job before you start.
- A card deposit when the job is booked
- Bigger jobs can hold a bigger deposit
- Covers the dates and the materials
- The balance paid 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 walls are done, whatever suits the two of you, and a reminder goes out before the start date.

Common questions
- Can I ask for a deposit to cover plaster and materials?
- Yes. You set the deposit per job, so a job that needs plaster, bonding and beads bought in, or a run of days, can carry a larger deposit, taken by card when the customer accepts.
- What if the dates change?
- The deposit holds the booking and counts toward the total. If the dates move, the job moves with its deposit, and the balance is invoiced when the work is done.
