The fee is shown on the booking
Charge the fee, charge less, or let it go

No-shows

No-show fees, charged in one tap

Questions owners ask us

BeNotely's deposits take money the moment a booking is made, a percentage, a fixed amount or the whole visit, paid on your booking page by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Or a card is kept on file and charged only if they miss the visit. Refunds take one tap, and payouts go to your bank account.

Do customers pay the whole amount up front?+

Only if you want them to. Most businesses take a deposit and the rest is paid at the visit. You can ask for the full amount at booking if that suits you.

What happens when someone doesn't show up?+

With a deposit, you keep it. With a card on file, you charge the fee in your policy, or less. You can refund later if you change your mind.

Can a deposit be paid with a gift card?+

Yes. On your booking page, a customer can type a gift card code and the card pays the deposit. Anything left is paid the usual way.

How do refunds work?+

One tap from the booking. The money goes back to the card it came from, all of it or the part you choose.

Do I need a card machine?+

No. Deposits and online payments happen on your booking page. At the visit, customers pay the rest however you already take money.

Is card information safe?+

Card details are handled by an accredited payment provider and never touch BeNotely. 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.
