Booking deposits that protect peak hours

An empty Saturday chair costs more than a polite reminder. Ask for a deposit where no-shows hurt — long services, peak slots, in-demand professionals — and confirm only when payment settles.

Not every appointment needs a deposit

Start with the slots that hurt most. After two weeks, review empty chairs and tune percentages. The goal is protecting the schedule — not punishing loyal clients.

  • Percentage per service or category
  • Online booking and/or front desk
  • Confirmation after payment settles in your provider

Your provider, your money

Deposits settle in the payment account you connect (bring your own gateway). Adatis is not the merchant for client payments. Studio subscriptions are billed separately in USD by Paddle as Merchant of Record.

Pair with reminders and waitlist

Deposit + timely reminder + waitlist when someone cancels is the practical trio. See the full playbook in our no-show guide.
