Stop chasing deposits in DMs
If your evenings are spent chasing payments in private messages, the process is the problem — not your clients alone.
DMs are a bad checkout
Private messages mix friendship, sales, and accounting. Screenshots get lost; payment apps get ignored.
A proper booking page separates conversation from commitment.
One link, paid when they book
DepositBio lets clients pick a service and time, then pay the deposit on Pro (or confirm by email on Free) before you reply.
You keep the deposit — no DepositBio platform fee — and spend DMs on real questions, not “did you send it?”.
What to say in your bio and stories
Use a short line: “Book + deposit in bio.” Pin a story that shows the three steps so regulars learn the new habit.
When someone still DMs “are you free?”, reply with the link once instead of negotiating by hand.
Built for people who work alone
Heavy salon suites are overkill when you are one brand and one calendar. DepositBio stays focused on solo Socials booking.
Start free, upgrade when you are ready for card deposits, reminders, and a cleaner branded page.
