Instagram booking link with deposit: how it works
If your calendar lives in Instagram messages, a bio link with deposit is the upgrade that protects your time.
What belongs in the bio link
One URL should show your services, open slots, and deposit rules. Clients finish booking without asking “are you free Saturday?” in chat.
DepositBio gives you a branded page at depositbio.com for exactly that flow.
Free confirmation vs paid deposits
On Free, clients confirm with an email code — useful while you learn the flow. Pro adds card deposits through Stripe Connect so the slot is financially held.
DepositBio charges a flat Pro plan and never takes a percentage of client deposits.
How to set it up in minutes
Create your page, add services and hours, connect Stripe on Pro, then paste the link in Instagram (and TikTok). Keep captions pointing to “book in bio”.
Update deposit amounts when prices or policies change — the same link stays in the bio.
Keep the page on-brand
Use your photo, colors, and no-show copy so the page feels like you, not generic software. Pro can hide DepositBio branding if you want a cleaner look.
Trust rises when the booking experience matches the feed that brought the client.
