Payments & Revenue
Can I require a card on file before customers book?
Secure bookings with payment method requirements.
Sound Familiar?
You've been burned too many times. Customers book, don't show up, and you have no way to recover the lost revenue. You want some assurance that when someone books, they're serious about turning up. But you don't want to charge upfront for every service.
