Reduce No-Shows: The Whizzly Service Deposit System Powerup
"No-shows and late cancellations cost service businesses valuable time and income. Discover how Whizzly merchants reduce empty slots and secure revenue with upfront card deposits. Available as a £9.99/mo Starter add-on or included in Pro."
For salons, barbers, clinics, aesthetic practitioners, tutors, and consultants, no-shows and last-minute cancellations are a constant threat to profitability. When a client fails to show up for a 60-minute booking, that income is lost forever.
To solve this challenge, we are thrilled to launch the Service Deposit System Powerup, available as a £9.99/mo Starter add-on or included free in Whizzly Pro.
How the Service Deposit System Works
- Customisable Upfront Amounts: Merchants can set an upfront deposit amount (e.g. £10.00, £20.00, or €15.00) required to lock in an appointment slot.
- Seamless Storefront Checkout: When clients book a service slot on your storefront, the checkout automatically splits the total into Pay Now (Non-Refundable Deposit) and Remaining Balance Due at Appointment.
- Upfront Revenue Security: Deposits are charged immediately via Stripe or online checkout options, ensuring your business secures booking revenue even if a client cancels last minute.
- Custom Terms & Policy: Display clear cancellation terms directly at checkout to set expectations before payment is processed.
Available on Starter & Pro
The Service Deposit System is available as a £9.99/mo add-on for Starter merchants or included completely free with Whizzly Pro (£24.99/mo). Protect your appointment schedule and secure your revenue with upfront deposits today!
