You just lost $3,600 to no-shows this year. Did you collect a cent?
When a client misses an appointment without notice, you lose more than that hour. You're paying rent and overhead whether the chair is full or empty.
1. No Policy
You hope clients show up. If they don't, you eat the loss.
2. Deposits
Client pays a portion upfront. Secures some revenue, but creates 71% abandonment rate.
3. Card-on-File
Better, but you have to log in, process the charge, and send that awkward text.
Get Paid Even When They Don't Show
Think of how a hotel works. When you check in, they don't charge your card for the full stay. They place an authorization hold to guarantee the funds are there. Auth-hold does the same for your booking.
Clients don't pay upfront
Booking completion stays high. No friction.
You don't chase payments
Card is held at booking. If they no-show, you get paid. Automatically.
You never send that text
No "Hey, can you pay for yesterday?" The system handles it.
