Deposits that stop no-shows
Take a deposit the moment they book, a percentage or a fixed amount. The rest is paid at the visit.
Free to start, no card needed. Made in Australia.
Deposits, reminders and card on file, working together
Reminders handle the forgetful. Deposits and a card on file handle the rest.
Deposits
A percentage or a fixed amount, taken when they book. It comes off the bill when they arrive.
Reminders
Email and text before every visit, with their own reschedule link.
Sent the day before, on their own. You never typed a thing.
Card on file
Turn it on, and cards are saved at booking. Nothing is charged unless they miss the appointment.
The card is saved securely. A fee applies only if the appointment is missed or cancelled late. They pay for the visit in person, as usual.
Phone bookings get protected too
Took a booking over the phone? Text them a payment link. The booking is protected before you hang up.
Card on file covers no-shows
A card on file backs the booking. If they miss, charge the fee in one tap. If plans genuinely changed, don't.
Everything deposit software should include
Set the rules once. The system enforces them politely, every time.
No deposit, a percentage, or a fixed amount. One setting, applied to every booking.
The money is taken the moment they book, not chased afterwards.
When plans genuinely change, the refund takes one tap and lands back on their card.
Turn it on and cards save securely at booking, charged only if they no-show.
Protect phone bookings with a payment link sent by text.
What's yours lands in your bank account. No terminal, no extra hardware.
None of it works alone
The website fills the calendar, bookings build the customer list, the customer list powers the marketing, and the intelligence reads all of it.
Questions owners ask us
BeNotely's payments take a deposit the moment a booking is made, a percentage or a fixed amount, keep a card on file to cover no-shows, and refund in one tap. Payouts go straight to your bank account.
Do customers pay the whole amount up front?+
Only if you want them to. Most businesses take a deposit, a percentage or a fixed amount, and the rest is paid in person at the visit. You can also charge the whole amount at booking if that suits how you work.
What happens when someone doesn't show up?+
The deposit is already yours, held since the moment they booked. Refunding is always your choice and takes one tap, so you can be generous when the story deserves it.
How do refunds work?+
One tap from the booking. The deposit goes back to the card it came from, and the booking keeps a record of what happened.
Do I need a card machine?+
No. Deposits and card payments happen online through your booking page, and the rest is paid in person however you already take money at your visit.
Is card information safe?+
Card details are handled by an accredited payment provider and never touch BeNotely's servers. Your team sees that a card is on file, never the number.
How much does it cost?+
