Let your clients book online
They pick a time, pay the deposit if there is one, and land in your calendar.
How it works
On Studio Rue's booking page, a client picks Balayage, Saturday at 10:30, enters her name and phone, and pays the $50 deposit with a card. The page says You're booked and the confirmation goes by text. In the owner's calendar, the 10:30 Balayage appears with Deposit paid, and two more bookings from the page fill Saturday.
What it does
- Live availability
- Built from your hours and the appointments you already have, so two people can't take the same slot.
- Deposits that hold the spot
- Set a deposit per service. The client pays it on the booking page before the time is theirs.
- Reminders on their own
- Before every appointment, by text, email or both, at the times you choose.
- A QR code and a waitlist
- A QR for the counter, a page to embed on a website you already have, and a waitlist that texts people when a slot opens.
What it doesn’t do
The confirmation text doesn't carry a link to change the time: clients reply or call you to move it. Texts go only to clients who agreed to them; the others get email. A deposit is charged through Stripe, so you finish Stripe's account setup before you ask for one.
Questions
How do clients book appointments with me online?
You get a booking page at vantapayllc.com/book/yourshop with your services, prices and open times. They pick a slot, pay a deposit if the service has one, and the appointment lands in your calendar.
How much does online booking cost?
The booking page comes with every VantaPay plan, starting with the Solo plan ($14.99 a month). When a client pays a deposit by card, Stripe's card fee of 3.69% + 30¢ applies to that charge.
Can I take deposits when clients book?
Yes. Set a deposit on any service. The client pays it on the booking page, and the confirmation goes out after it's paid.
Can I put booking on my Instagram or my website?
Yes. Put the link in your bio, show the QR code, or embed the booking page on a website you already have.
Your next appointment gets booked by the client, while you work.
