Deposits & no-show protection

Use SlickPay to automatically take deposits when clients book online to stop no-shows. Or use our card capture system to hold card details to charge a card if your client doesn't attend.

Luxury Salon has requested a deposit payment of $30 to confirm your appointment on Thu 26 Jul at 9:20AM. Please pay the deposit via this link: tinyurl.com/234555.
Request deposits via SMS

Receptionists hate asking for money, and Slick makes deposit taking as easy! We can send your client a secure SMS with payment link. More secure than payment over the phone and less awkward.

Insurance against no-shows

Require a deposit or save a card on file when clients book online — so if they don't show up, you still get paid. No awkward conversations, no chasing people down. Clients enter their details once at booking, and if they cancel last minute or don't show, you can charge the saved card directly.

Salon owners: how much are you losing in credit card fees?

Salon owners, nobody tells you how much you're losing in card fees until you actually do the maths. So while I unbox some stock, I'm going to talk to you about it.

Payment processing fees aren't something we think about when choosing salon software. You think about the features, the booking flow and how it looks. You don't think, "Wait, what percentage are they taking on every single card transaction?"

I actually did the maths, and it turned out a lot of money wasn't going into my bank account. I switched to Slick because the payment processing fees are lower, and it shows up in my numbers every month. It's not a huge, dramatic difference, but it's money that now stays with me.

So if you're with any other software, it's worth taking five minutes to check your transaction rate, then compare it on Slick's website. It's a small percentage difference, but over hundreds of transactions, it really adds up.
