Deposits & Pre-payments
A £50 deposit on a bridal booking costs you nothing if she shows up, costs her £50 if she doesn't, and that's the point. Clients pay by debit or credit card when they book online, so there are no awkward phone calls asking for payment and nothing to chase. The deposit lands in your account and your no-show rate drops.
Key Benefits
- Collected online, automatically. When a client books through your booking page, they pay the deposit by card before the appointment confirms, with no manual follow-up needed.
- Fixed or percentage deposits. £30 flat for colour corrections, or 50% for weddings. Set defaults on services or adjust per booking.
- Visual tracking on your calendar. An amber icon means the deposit's pending and green means it's paid, with no spreadsheets and no guesswork.
- Automatic deduction at checkout. The bridal hair bill is £150 and you already took £50, so the amount due shows £100.
- In-salon collection too. A Take Deposit button sits on every appointment for walk-ins and phone bookings, and it goes straight through Quick POS with the amount pre-filled.
- Works for linked appointments. Multi-service booking with colour and cut? Collect deposits on one or all services from a single screen.
- 2% + 20p per transaction. That's the card processing cost, which comes to 70p on a £25 deposit, with no monthly gateway fees and no setup costs.
