A deposit holds the place
A private session or a workshop place held and then dropped is time you cannot sell again. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card when a student books, so the slots you plan for 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 they book
Ask for a deposit by card the moment a student books, with the rest settled your usual way. It is most useful for a private session or a one-off workshop, and you choose which bookings ask for one.
- A card deposit taken at booking
- Set it where a dropped place costs you most
- The balance settled your usual way
- The student sees exactly what is left
The places you hold are kept
A student who has paid toward the session turns up, and the ones who cannot make it tell you in time to offer the place to someone else. A reminder goes out before it with a link to move inside your notice.
- Money toward the place means fewer drop-outs
- A reminder before each session
- Students move a booking inside your notice
- A freed place is known in time to fill it

Common questions
- Do I have to take a deposit on every class?
- No. Deposits are set per service, so you can ask for one on a private session or a workshop and leave your drop-in classes as a straightforward booking.
- What if a student needs to move a paid session?
- As long as they move it within the notice period you set, the session and its deposit carry over to the new time rather than being lost.
