REASON #1 Protect Your Business

Pattern

Charge no-show fees with stored cards

Your time is valuable, which is why it’s important to safeguard your business against no-shows. Phorest safely stores your client’s encrypted card details when they book online, allowing you to charge a set or full amount in the event of a no-show.

Flexible deposits

Did you know that clients who pay a deposit are significantly less likely to no-show? Phorest allows you to charge flexible deposits for all services booked online, in-person or over the phone. Take larger deposits from higher no-show risks, such as new clients or those who have been no-shows in the past. And you can set custom deposits for services that require you to have costly professional products in-stock before the appointment.

Control who can (and can't!) book online

Here at Phorest, our goal is to help you make more money and thrive in your business. That’s why we offer a range of safeguarding features that help you control who can and can’t book online.
