How does it look for my clients?
Once set up, your clients’ online booking experience is straightforward. They are asked to create an account with a password. This is a one-off, next time they can simply login!
As you have chosen to take an upfront deposit then they will be asked to add their card details to their profile.
Example here they are paying £35 upfront for a £70 bill.
Make sure you have updated your cancellation policy which we will show to clients at various points throughout their booking experience.
How do I know if they have paid an online deposit?
