Almost every stylist and facial at I know does. So every time they book I charge a $50 deposit. If they no show I keep it as a no show fee. If they cancel with at least 24 hour notice I give it back or roll it to their next appointment.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></P> Fri, 01 Dec 2023 01:18:47 GMT Doran 2023-12-01T01:18:47Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Appointments-Bookings/Square-no-show-protection-is-a-joke/m-p/696948#M2070 <P>Square no show protection is a joke . &nbsp;I own a salon business. &nbsp;Sometime customer booked online and didn’t show up. &nbsp;Then they blocked the credit card. &nbsp;We can’t even charge it . And when I called square help desk. &nbsp;They told me need contact customer. &nbsp;I was like seriously? &nbsp;If client choose not to show up. You think they gonna pay? &nbsp; I think square &nbsp;need come up with something like pre-authorization credit card. &nbsp;Make sure we can hold the funds first. &nbsp;Just incase this kinda things happened.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:05:58 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Appointments-Bookings/Square-no-show-protection-is-a-joke/m-p/696948#M2070 ZEE888 2025-09-22T14:05:58Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Appointments-Bookings/Square-no-show-protection-is-a-joke/m-p/696975#M2071 <P>I don’t know if this helps you but I’ve started charging a deposit for services.
