Deposits per service

A deposit asks the customer to prepay part of a service's price at the moment of booking, with the balance collected in person. Deposits dramatically reduce no-shows on long or expensive treatments and protect the chair time you'd otherwise lose. You set them per service, so quick low-value visits stay friction-free.

How to set it up

  1. 1

    Open Services and pick a service

    Go to Services in the sidebar and click the treatment you want to protect — typically your longest or priciest ones.

  2. 2

    Find the Deposit field

    In the service editor, scroll to the Deposit section. Deposits are only available once online payment is enabled.

  3. 3

    Set a percentage or fixed amount

    Enter either a percentage of the price (e.g. 30%) or a fixed amount (e.g. €20). The customer pays this at booking; the rest is due at the appointment.

  4. 4

    Save and repeat per service

    Save the service. Repeat only for the services that warrant it — leave quick add-ons deposit-free for a smooth checkout.

Good to know

  • Per-service: charge a deposit only on high-value or long treatments.
  • Percentage (e.g. 30%) or fixed amount (e.g. €20).
  • Deposits feed your cancellation policy — a kept deposit can cover a no-show.
