Require clients to pay before their appointment is confirmed. Collecting payment at booking eliminates invoice chasing and significantly reduces no-shows — because clients with skin in the game show up.
When you enable payment on a service, clients must complete checkout before their booking is confirmed. No payment means no appointment — preventing casual or low-intent bookings that end in no-shows.
Collect the full service fee upfront or require a deposit to hold the time slot. The remainder can be collected in person. Both options reduce no-shows while maintaining flexibility for your clients.
Onbookr does not take a percentage of your booking revenue. You pay a flat monthly subscription — what your clients pay goes entirely to you, minus standard payment processor fees.
Collected payments are automatically transferred to your payout account on your configured schedule. You don't need to manually request withdrawals or reconcile payments.
Service professionals who charge $50–$500+ per appointment lose significant income to no-shows. Unlike software subscriptions, you can't recover that time. Collecting payment upfront — even just a small deposit — creates commitment. Clients who have paid are far more likely to show up, reschedule with notice, or cancel with enough lead time that you can fill the slot.
