On long or high-value services, a no-show hurts. ClaudIA asks for a deposit when booking and, when they send the screenshot, reads it and leaves it flagged in your calendar: whoever leaves a deposit turns up. To be straight with you: this runs today through Bizum, a Spanish payment method, so it's available for salons in Spain — elsewhere we'll add a local method before offering it.
It's one of the most effective ways to protect the most valuable slots in your calendar. The line it never crosses: ClaudIA notes, and the payment is confirmed by whoever sees it in their account. It neither collects for you nor takes anything as verified — and it's one of the first things we'll extend once there's a local payment method in each country.
How it works
- You choose which services should ask for a deposit and how much.
- When those services are booked, ClaudIA requests the deposit to your number and the screenshot of the payment.
- When the photo arrives, it reads it (amount, method and date) and marks the appointment as 'receipt received'; if something doesn't add up, it tells you what.
- In the calendar you open the screenshot and confirm or reject: only then does it count as received in your reports.
