Questions operators ask before switching

Can I take full payment instead of a deposit?

Services can be configured around the payment rules the business needs, including deposits and payment collection through Stripe.

Can some services have no deposit?

Yes. Deposit rules are service-specific.

Does Slotivo add payment processing markup?

Slotivo does not add a payment processing markup on top of Stripe. Platform pricing is separate and transparent.

Can deposits help reduce no-shows?

Yes. A financial commitment and automatic reminders are two of the strongest ways to reduce no-shows.
