Practical guide

Collect appointment deposits and final balances before artists, rooms, and treatment time are blocked.

Appointment businesses sell time and specialist availability. A deposit helps protect stylists, therapists, artists, rooms, and materials from no-shows.

Crypto can fit premium services, tourist clients, tattoo deposits, spa packages, and customers who ask to pay from a wallet.

Why appointment deposits need a clear flow

The payment confirms a time slot and sometimes prep work. A vague transfer does not tell staff which appointment is protected.

The client should understand deposit rules before paying, especially for tattoo work, packages, or cancellation windows.

No-shows cost time

Deposits protect staff calendars.

Custom work needs commitment

Tattoo designs and premium treatments may require upfront payment.

Tourists can fit

Wallet payments can help international visitors.

How MakePay fits salon and spa payments

Send booking links before the appointment and use QR or links for final balances or add-ons at checkout.

Each request should carry the appointment, staff member, service, and deposit or balance label.

Deposit links

Collect commitment before blocking the calendar.

Final balance QR

Let clients pay at the desk after service.

Studio wallet settlement

Keep merchant funds routed to the business wallet.
