A deposit holds the busy slot
The Friday and Saturday before an event, every slot counts. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card the moment a client books, so the people who book your best slots 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.
How it looks

A deposit on the slots that fill first
Set a deposit on your services, taken by card as the client books. You can ask for one only on the busy pre-weekend slots and leave a quiet Tuesday free of it, whatever suits how your week runs.
- A card deposit set per service
- Protect the slots that fill first
- Taken the moment the client books
- The balance paid on the day
The slot held, the rest your way
The deposit comes off the total, so the client only pays the balance on the day, in person or your usual way. A reminder goes out before the appointment with a link to move it inside your notice, so a change frees the slot in time.

Common questions
- Can I ask for a deposit only on busy nights?
- Yes. You set the deposit per service, so you can protect your pre-weekend and pre-event slots and leave quieter ones without one.
- What if a client reschedules?
- The reminder has a reschedule link. As long as they move it within the notice you set, the appointment and its deposit carry over to the new time.
