Square no show protection is a joke.

Square no show protection is a joke .  I own a salon business.  Sometime customer booked online and didn’t show up.  Then they blocked the credit card.  We can’t even charge it . And when I called square help desk.  They told me need contact customer.  I was like seriously?  If client choose not to show up. You think they gonna pay?   I think square  need come up with something like pre-authorization credit card.  Make sure we can hold the funds first.  Just incase this kinda things happened.

I don’t know if this helps you but I’ve started charging a deposit for services. 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.
