Checking whether clients paid
Matching payments to appointments by hand takes admin time.
Solution for salons
Online payments via your website and WhatsApp
Clients book on your website and via WhatsApp, so that is where they want to pay too. With Lean Salon a deposit or full prepayment is part of the booking, through your own Mollie account.

Why separate payment requests cost time
A booking and a payment that are not connected mean extra checking.
Payment after booking
A separate payment request after the booking is easily ignored.
Different flows per channel
Website bookings and WhatsApp bookings each need their own payment handling.
How it works
Payment built into every booking
Whether a client books online or via WhatsApp, payment happens in the same flow.
Deposit or full prepayment
Choose a deposit (fixed or percentage) or full payment in advance, per your booking policy.
Time held while paying
The slot is held for a configurable number of minutes, 15 by default, while the client pays.
Payment link via WhatsApp
The assistant sends the payment link, reports a failed or expired payment and responds to I have paid.
Invoices automatically
The client gets a deposit invoice, and the final invoice deducts it. Refunds get a credit invoice.

Can I ask for a deposit only for some appointments?
