Online booking system for small businesses, with deposits
Clients pick a service and a time, pay a deposit to your own Square or Stripe, and get a confirmation. You stop playing phone tag and no-shows cost you less.
Square's free plan may be enough. We check first.
Pay when you’re happy · first version in 24–48 hrs
Set up my bookingsWhen bookings only happen by phone or DM
If the only way to book is to call or message you, every booking needs you. You answer between clients, people wait for a reply and book elsewhere, and after-hours enquiries sit until morning.
No-shows are the other cost. A booking that cost nothing to make costs nothing to skip. A small deposit, a clear cancellation policy and a reminder change that, and the money goes straight to your own account, not to us.
Who it’s for

- Deposits for the services you choose, paid to your own Square or Stripe account
- Your cancellation policy, written with you and shown when people book

How long it takes
You get a working first version in 24–48 hours once we have what we need. Bigger or more complex systems take longer, and you get the timeline in writing first. A single location with a short service list is usually quick; several staff with different hours, or a move from another booking app, takes a little longer.

Quick answers

Yes. You choose which services need one and how much. The money lands in your own Square or Stripe account. We never hold your money or take a cut.
Probably not. Those apps already do bookings and deposits. Tell us what is not working, and we will show you the setting or suggest a smaller fix.
A working first version in 24–48 hours once we have your services, staff hours and account access. Bigger setups take longer, and you get the timeline in writing first.
