A deposit holds the moving date
A moving day blocked out for a move that falls through is a van and a crew you cannot earn back. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card when the move is booked, so the date you set aside is a date that happens.
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 move is booked
Set a deposit on the move, taken by card when the customer accepts, with the balance due after the move. A bigger move that ties up a van and a full crew for the day can carry a bigger deposit, so the more of your week it holds, the more is secured.

- A bigger move can hold a bigger deposit
- Covers the day you set aside
- The balance due after the move
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 van is unloaded, whatever suits the two of you, and a reminder goes out before the day.

Common questions
- Can I take a deposit for a move booked weeks ahead?
- Yes. The deposit is taken by card when the move is booked and holds the date however far ahead it is, with the balance invoiced after the move.
- What happens to the deposit if the move is cancelled?
- The deposit is taken at booking and recorded against the move, so a date held is paid toward rather than held on trust. Your own terms decide what happens to it on a cancellation.
