Enable deposits or full prepay
If no-shows are hurting your schedule, consider collecting a deposit or full prepayment. Define amounts, rules, and exceptions based on your services.
Clear messaging
Communicate the policy on your booking page and in the confirmation message. Reduce back-and-forth support.
Automated reminders
Turn on automated email reminders to reduce missed appointments. If you also use WhatsApp, you can complement it with manual messages or your preferred tool.
Measure and adjust
Monitor cancellations vs. sales. Adjust deposit by service and peak hours.
