Take a deposit to hold the slot
When your time is the evenings and weekends around a day job, a no-show is a night you will not get back. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card the moment someone books, so the people who book are the people who turn up.
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 the moment they book
Set a deposit on any service and it is taken by card as the client books, with the rest paid later. A booking that is paid toward is one someone keeps, so the slot you gave up your evening for is not sitting empty when the time comes.
- A deposit set on any service
- Taken by card as the client books
- The rest paid later, your way
- A booked evening that is actually kept
Your own time, protected
A side business runs on scarce time, so every slot matters more. A deposit filters out the casual booking that never shows, and a reminder goes out before the booking so nothing is forgotten between the day job and the side one.
- Scarce time spent on real bookings
- The casual no-show filtered out
- A reminder before every booking
- Nothing lost between the two jobs

Common questions
- Can I take a deposit rather than the full amount?
- Yes. You set a deposit on a service, taken by card when the client books, and the rest is settled later the way you prefer. It holds the slot without asking for everything up front.
- What if a client would rather pay in full or in cash?
- You choose what each service asks for. A client can pay a deposit by card, or you can take the full amount, or let them pay in person, whatever suits how you run things.
