The three layers

Deposits, reminders and card on file, working together

Reminders handle the forgetful. Deposits and a card on file handle the rest.

No-show protection

A no-show costs them, not you

A card on file backs the booking. If they miss, charge the fee in one tap. If plans genuinely changed, don't.

Everything deposit software should include

Set the rules once. The system enforces them politely, every time.

Per-service rules

No deposit, a percentage, or a fixed amount. Your call, service by service.

Held at booking

The money is taken the moment they book, not chased afterwards.

One-tap refunds

When plans genuinely change, the refund takes one tap and lands back on their card.

Card on file

For the appointments with the most to lose, keep a card securely on file.

Deposit request links

Protect phone bookings with a payment link sent by text.

Payouts to your bank

What's yours lands in your bank account. No terminal, no extra hardware.

None of it works alone

The website fills the calendar, bookings build the client book, the client book powers the marketing, and the intelligence reads all of it.

Questions owners ask us

BeNotely's payments take a deposit the moment a booking is made, a percentage or a fixed amount per service, keep a card on file for the appointments with the most to lose, and refund in one tap. Payouts go straight to your bank account.

Do customers pay the whole amount up front?+

Only if you want them to. Most businesses take a deposit, a percentage or a fixed amount per service, and the rest is paid in person at the visit. You can also charge the whole amount at booking for the services where that makes sense.

What happens when someone doesn't show up?+

The deposit is already yours, held since the moment they booked. Refunding is always your choice and takes one tap, so you can be generous when the story deserves it.

How do refunds work?+

One tap from the booking. The deposit goes back to the card it came from, and the booking keeps a record of what happened.

Do I need a card machine?+

No. Deposits and card payments happen online through your booking page, and the rest is paid in person however you already take money at your visit.

Is card information safe?+

Card details are handled by an accredited payment provider and never touch BeNotely's servers. Your team sees that a card is on file, never the number.

How much does it cost?+

There's a real free plan for one person: online bookings, your website and the AI assistant, no card required. Paid plans start at $29 AUD a month for one person taking bookings and from $69 for a team, GST included. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on.
