Appointment Deposits
How can I set up Deposits for Appointments/Services?
Charging a deposit is a great way to increase a clients commitment to their appointment. Whether that deposit is a percentage of the total price of the booking, or a set amount, it will help to reduce cancellations and no-shows significantly.
Navigate to the Settings page by selecting the gear icon at the bottom of the menu on the left side of your dashboard.
Locate "Deposits" under the SALES section of the Settings Menu on the left side of the page.
Here, you have the option to decide whether you want to ask clients for a deposit at the time of booking. Simply toggle the switch on or off according to your preference.
If yes, you can then set the deposit as a dollar amount or percentage of the service. This amount will apply to all deposits.
Once you've configured the deposit settings to your liking, you'll now be able to seamlessly collect deposits online or when booking directly through the Cuddles dashboard.
If you’re not currently signed up for CuddlesPay, the Deposit screen will display a message letting you know and a button that will take you directly to the CuddlesPay sign up screen.
