You can simply send deposit request payment links to your clients!

First you will need to setup a Stripe account if you haven't already. When you make a booking, you will be asked if you would like to request a deposit now.


You can send a deposit request straight from the client's booking

  • Click on the client's booking and then choose 'Request Deposit'.

  • You can then enter the amount your client will be asked to pay as a deposit. You can also review the SMS that will be sent to your client. This will cost 2 Credits.

  • You can see on the booking when the deposit request was sent and you will be updated in ’Notifications’ when your client has completed or declined your payment request.

  • ...and when it has been paid/accepted.

If a client has been sent a deposit request but has not yet paid their deposit, they will be send a Deposit Reminder SMS 48 hours before the start of their booking.


Cancelled/No show Bookings and deposit refunds

If your client cancels their booking or they don't turn up, you can choose what you do with their deposit.

  • No-Shows

If your client doesn't turn up for their booking, click on their booking then 'No Show'.
You then have three options to proceed with deposits, as seen below.

  • Booking cancellation

If your client tells you they are unable to make their booking and need to cancel, you can choose what you do with their deposit.

  • To do this, click on the client's booking then 'Cancel' then 'Yes, Cancel'.

  • You can then choose what you want to do with the deposit from the three options in the screenshot above, and click Confirm!


What about refunded online deposit for your salon bank account?

Slick will take back the original amount of money that was transferred to your salon for the payment (Eg if client paid £10, and your salon got £9 after fees, we take back the £9).

Slick will then charge a refund fee for the difference that is owed to the client, ie for the client who wanted their £10 refund, we would charge a £1 refund fee.

This is because we got £9 back from the deposit payment and need to give the client back £10 to fulfil the refund of the payment.
