A little upfront - and far fewer no-shows
You ask for part of the full price upfront. Enough to make the guest take the appointment seriously, without scaring them off.
Why it helps
The empty chair hurts
You are ready, the guest is expected, and nobody shows up. A missed appointment is time you cannot get back. A deposit makes that moment rarer: when booking, the guest pays part of the price, and the slot becomes more than a promise. A deposit is not a punishment, it is mutual respect.
You decide how much
Not every service needs a deposit. You choose per service whether to ask for one, and whether it is a fixed amount or a percentage of the price. A consultation can stay free while a long treatment asks for a deposit. Guests see before booking what they pay now and what remains for the visit, so there are no unpleasant surprises.
A clean settlement
The deposit goes to your own payment account, and MeetPly takes no commission on guest payments. The guest knows what was paid, and you see what is still due. If you also need a document after a successful payment, it can be issued through your invoicing account, so a deposit never leaves a mess in your books.
