Why demanding deposit payments is important?

Whether you’re working in the beauty, fitness industry or any other business that charge for services – every service professional’s been there: you arrive at work and take stock of the day’s schedule. You’re fully booked, and you’re waiting for the day to start, ready to greet your first client. And you keep waiting. Maybe the phone rings, and it’s your client, canceling 15 minutes after their appointment was scheduled to start. Now, you’re left scrambling. Even with your waitlist enabled, it’s often too late to re-book the newly vacant spot. Now, you’re left in an impossible position: do you enforce your cancellation and no-show policy, and risk losing the client, or do you simply take the hit to your daily income?

Every day, service professionals navigate the delicate balance between the client’s need for flexibility and their business’s need for security. While there’s no cure-all for cancellations and no-shows, there are ways to minimize and manage them professionally. Deposits are a way to help curtail no-shows and last-minute cancellations, secure partial payment for services booked in advance, and avoid uncomfortable client situations.

Integration with many online payment systems

PayPal is an online financial service that allows you to pay for items using a secure internet account. You simply add your bank account, credit card or debit card details and whenever you pay using PayPal, you can choose which of your cards or accounts it pays with. You can also set one to be the default payment method and that will be used unless you choose otherwise.

In addition to paying for items using PayPal, you can also receive money through the service. Any money received sits in your PayPal account and can be used when paying for something, with the balance topped up by your assigned cards or bank account.

Stripe was founded in 2010 with the mission of making it easier to accept payments over the internet. At the time, taking credit cards meant working with a legacy processor or a middleman broker who would provide you with access to a processor.

Then there were the banks you had to deal with, the credit card companies themselves, and a slew of additional services that were often poorly explained and sold by various third parties. Long story short, accepting credit cards was an incredibly complicated and poorly explained process.

Stripe set out to fix a lot of that by streamlining the process. They added services and features like fraud protection, fixed rates regardless of network, and an application programming interface (API) that allowed app makers to easily incorporate card processing into their apps.

Why their integration is so important?

Stripe and PayPal are the most used and most popular payment systems in the world. PayPal is very common and Stripe provides turnkey credit card billing solution that you can setup almost instantly with basic business info.

If you want to bill your customers online you need to use one of these or both services.

Online payments are very important for the automation of your system and the quality of service you provide to your customers. Therefore, the more reliable and popular the online payment system you use, the higher the number of online payments you get.
