No-show fees, charged automatically
Set a deposit and a cancellation window. If a client no-shows or cancels late, Sessurely charges the fee for you, through Stripe, no invoice to chase, no confrontation.
Set up once. It works every day after.
Build your booking page
Add your services, choose which ones need a deposit, and set your cancellation window. Already have a client list? Import your contacts from iPhone, Android, or CSV and start booking people you know on day one.
Clients book and add a card
They pick a time, see the deposit and policy up front, and add a card, stored securely by Stripe, never by us. Afterward, a private link lets them confirm, reschedule, or cancel within your policy, add the session to their calendar, and leave a review once it's done.
Sessurely runs the rest
Reminders go out, no-shows are charged, and follow-ups are drafted. You just approve.
Why deposits and no-show fees work
When a client has money on the line, they show up. Scheduling providers and industry studies consistently report that paid or deposit-backed appointments no-show far less often than free ones, often in the single digits versus 20–40% for free bookings. Automated reminders add to that, typically cutting missed appointments by 20–50%.

More than no-show protection
No-show fees are what you came for, but they sit inside a full booking app. Sessurely is the booking app that runs your whole appointment business: your own booking page, a calendar that stays in sync, and a real client book with history, notes, and photos. Add your services and deposits, send intake forms, sell gift cards, take payments, and let reminders and follow-ups go out on autopilot. No-show protection is the standout edge, not the whole product.
You keep what you earn, too. There is no commission on your sessions. Money goes straight to your own Stripe account, and your clients are always yours. The only fee is a 2% no-show-protection fee, capped at $10, on the deposits and no-show fees we process.
No-show fees: common questions
How does automatic no-show charging work?+
The client adds a card and agrees to your policy when they book. If they no-show or cancel later than your window allows, Sessurely charges the fee you set, automatically, through Stripe, no invoice, no chasing.
Is it legal to charge a no-show fee?+
Charging a no-show or late-cancellation fee is common practice when the client agrees to a clear policy up front, which Sessurely shows at booking. Rules can vary by location and industry, so check what applies to you. This isn't legal advice.
What no-show fee should I charge?+
Most independent pros set the fee at a deposit-sized portion of the service price, often 25% to 100%. You choose the amount and the cancellation window per service.
