Guide
Take a booking deposit from Instagram or TikTok
A deposit at booking time is the clearest way to fill a calendar that starts on Socials.
Why “pay later in DMs” fails
Asking for Venmo or cash after the chat still leaves the slot unpaid until the day of. Many clients never send it.
Collecting at booking removes the chase and filters serious clients.
Bio → service → slot → deposit
DepositBio turns that path into one page. Free uses email confirmation; Pro unlocks card deposits to your Stripe account with no DepositBio platform fee.
Publish your no-show and refund stance on the same page so expectations are clear.
Works across trades, not only beauty
The same flow helps detailing, tattoo, photo sessions, and other timed solo services discovered on Instagram or TikTok.
If clients find you on Socials and book by message, a deposit link belongs in the bio.
Keep pricing simple
Pro is a flat monthly or yearly plan (from about $9/mo billed yearly). Card network fees still apply; DepositBio does not skim the deposit.
That makes it easier to explain than tools that take a cut of every payment.
