Require Partial Deposits via PayPal to Confirm Bookings
SchedulingKit charges a deposit through PayPal when clients book, with the remaining balance collected later. Deposits secure the appointment and reduce no-shows. Clients pay using any PayPal-supported method, and your refund policy is enforced automatically based on cancellation timing.

Connect PayPal and set deposit amounts

Hauptfunktionen
Warum deposit collection mit PayPal und SchedulingKit den Unterschied macht.
Lower no-show rates
Clients who pay a deposit upfront are significantly more committed. Businesses report 60-80% reductions in no-shows after requiring deposits.
Revenue secured early
Collect 25-50% of the service fee at booking. Even if the client cancels, your policy determines what portion is retained.
Transparent pricing
The booking form clearly shows deposit amount, remaining balance, and cancellation policy. Clients know exactly what they are paying and when.
PayPal dispute protection
SchedulingKit documents the booking, payment, and cancellation policy in PayPal transaction details, providing evidence for any payment disputes.
Deposit Collection in der Praxis
Ein praxisnaher Blick darauf, wie deposit collection von PayPal mit SchedulingKit funktioniert.
A mobile auto detailing business charges a $50 deposit on their Premium Detail service ($200 total) and a $25 deposit on their Express Wash ($75 total). Before requiring deposits, the owner drove to 3-4 no-show appointments per week, wasting 45 minutes of travel time each.
With PayPal deposits enabled, a customer books a Premium Detail for Saturday morning. The booking form shows: "Deposit: $50 via PayPal. Remaining $150 due at service." The customer pays $50 through PayPal Checkout. The booking confirms, and the detailer adds it to the Saturday route.
The cancellation policy is clear: full deposit refund if cancelled 48+ hours before the appointment, 50% refund within 48 hours, no refund within 12 hours. A customer who cancels Friday evening (less than 12 hours) forfeits the $50 deposit. PayPal processes the refund or retention automatically based on the SchedulingKit policy rules.
After three months of requiring deposits, no-shows dropped from 15% to 3%. The detailer processes 80 bookings per month, collecting $4,000 in deposits ($2,000 for Premium, $2,000 for Express). The remaining balances are collected via PayPal on the mobile card reader at the service location. The net impact: $900/month in recovered revenue that was previously lost to no-shows.
