Your hour is the product. A no-show sells it to nobody.
Missed calls, twelve months
$10,800
$300 × 3 missed a month × 12, or $900 a month. Your figures, our multiplication.
You read their material, built the view, and blocked the hour. Sessurely takes full prepayment or a deposit, charges the late cancel for you, and keeps the intro call free.
Want late cancels in the figure too? The full calculator splits them out and subtracts our fee.
The business you are actually in
Billable time is perishable. The Tuesday two o’clock expires at two, and it cannot be invoiced to the person who did not attend it.
Which is why a missed call is not an inconvenience. It is revenue that never existed.
A Tuesday in your calendar
Left is how it goes now. Right is the same Tuesday with prepayment and a policy behind it.
Today
What it costs you
With Sessurely
What changes
Today
You read their documents before the call.Ninety minutes of preparation for a sixty-minute conversation, and it is not on any invoice.
With Sessurely
The hour is paid before you open the file.Full prepayment at booking is the norm for advisory time, so preparation is never speculative.
Today
Nobody joins, and you invoice for nothing.You cannot bill an hour that did not happen, so the preparation and the blocked time are both written off.
With Sessurely
The fee is charged under the policy they agreed to.Prepaid means it is already yours. On a deposit, the fee runs on the card at booking, without an invoice.
Today
The free intro call and the paid engagement work the same way.So you either protect nothing, or you put payment in front of a first conversation and lose the lead.
With Sessurely
The intro stays free. The engagement is prepaid.Each service carries its own payment rule, so both sit on the same page without compromising either.
Today
A director reschedules three times.Each move costs you a blocked hour you could have sold, and none of it is chargeable because they always gave notice.
With Sessurely
Their history is on the record.Reschedules, attendance and what has been paid, so you can see the pattern and set a shorter window for that client.
Today
You are chasing an invoice for a call that happened.Thirty days, then a reminder, then a second reminder, for an hour you delivered weeks ago.
With Sessurely
The money arrived before the call did.Prepayment removes the receivable entirely. There is nothing to chase because there is nothing outstanding.
Today
A retainer client books ad hoc and you lose track.Which hours were in scope, which were extra, and what is left of this month’s allocation.
With Sessurely
Packages hold the allocation.Hours remaining sit on the client’s record, visible to you both, and packages carry no fee from us.
Deposits, the card on file, no-show and late-cancel fees, packages and gift cards, follow-ups drafted for you, and a freed slot offered to your waitlist on its own are part of Pro. Starter keeps the booking page, the client book, intake forms, a waitlist you offer by hand, and email and text reminders, free with no clock on it. Compare the plans.
What prepayment on a $300 hour is worth
One sum, at advisory rates, that takes ten seconds to check.
Three missed calls a month
$10,800
A year of prepared, blocked hours at $300 each. Nothing recovers any of it, because nothing was taken.
Prepaid at booking
$10,800
Already in your Stripe balance before the call, so a no-show costs you nothing at all. Stripe’s processing and our 2% come off it, line by line here.
Pro, for the year
$599.99
An effective $49.99 a month. Two recovered hours across the whole year more than cover it.
Arithmetic, not a forecast. Prepayment is the strongest form of this because the money is yours before the risk exists, which is why we recommend it for advisory work over a partial deposit.
Day one
What to set, and then leave alone
Full prepayment, not a deposit
Advisory time is high value and low volume, so taking the whole fee at booking is normal and removes the receivable. A deposit is the fallback where a client’s procurement will not allow it.
Twenty-four to forty-eight hours
Enough that a genuine diary clash is not punished, and short enough to be worth having. Inside it the fee you set applies. Outside it, they move themselves and nothing is charged.
Then nothing
Reminders go out with the agenda and the link. Intake collects the brief before the call. Follow-ups are drafted so an engagement that has gone quiet gets a nudge rather than lapsing.
None of this is a tactic you can run from a notebook. A deposit needs a payment processor, and a no-show fee needs a card that was authorised at booking. That is the part software has to do. How the charge works.
Never the same word twice
A saved card is not a payment. You should never have to wonder which one you have.
- Due
- What a client still owes you. Nothing has arrived.
- Held
- Deposits already paid, sitting in your Stripe balance, set aside for a booking that has not happened yet.
- Collected
- Money that arrived, including cash you recorded by hand.
- Recovered
- Fees kept or charged on appointments nobody attended. Green, because it is money kept.
Deposit paid
$300 taken · counts toward the $300
Money already in your Stripe account, set aside for that appointment. It comes off what they owe on the day.
Card held
$0 taken · $300 on the card
Nothing charged. The card is saved and only used if they miss it or cancel inside your window.
No deposit
$0 · nothing to charge
If they do not arrive, the time is simply gone. This is the state every other booking link leaves you in.
Different words, different borders, and the amount on every row. Your accent colour is yours to choose, which is exactly why colour never carries the meaning on its own.
More than no-show protection
No-show protection is where most consultants start. Sessurely runs the whole practice: your own booking page, a calendar that stays in sync, and a real client book with every engagement, what was paid and what is left of a retainer. Sell packages of hours at no fee from us, send intake forms before the first call, and keep the free intro genuinely free. Reminders go out on their own, and follow-ups are drafted for you to approve.
You keep what you earn. There is no commission on your appointments, money goes straight to your own Stripe account, and your clients are always yours.
Pricing
Free for everyone, with no clock on it.
Starter does not expire and never asks for a card. We would rather be paid when appointment protection actually produces money than charge you for a calendar.
So when it produces money, we take 2% of a deposit or a no-show fee, capped at $10.
Nothing on your prices. Nothing on packages or gift cards. Nothing added to what your client pays.

FAQ
Questions from consultants
Can clients prepay for a consultation?
Yes, and for advisory time it is the shape we would recommend. Take the full fee at booking and the no-show problem disappears, because the money is in your Stripe balance before the risk exists.
Is it suitable for recurring advisory calls?
Yes. Sell a package of hours and the allocation sits on the client’s record, visible to you both, so nobody is arguing about what was in scope. We take no fee on packages.
Should I take full prepayment or a deposit?
Full prepayment where the client will accept it, because it removes the receivable as well as the no-show. A deposit is the fallback where procurement requires an invoice after delivery.
Can I keep a free intro call and still protect paid ones?
Yes. Payment rules are set per service, so a thirty-minute intro can be free and frictionless while a paid engagement hour is prepaid, both on the same page.
I work out of a space I do not own. Is this for me?
Yes. If you set your own prices and keep what you charge, this is built for you. The account is yours, not the building's: your booking page, your clients, your policy and your prices stay separate from whoever else works in the room, and you can export everything we hold in one file on any plan.
I am employed and paid a salary or commission. Is this for me?
Probably not yet, and we would rather say so. The deposit, the no-show fee and the cancellation window would be your employer's decisions rather than yours, and those are the parts of Sessurely that do the work. When you go independent, this is here.
