Cut no-shows with AI reminders and deposits
No-shows are a silent tax on clinics. Two mechanisms — deposits and timely reminders — cut them dramatically. Here is how to use both.
A no-show is a slot you can never sell again. For high-value aesthetic and dental treatments, a handful of no-shows a week is a serious revenue leak.
Deposits filter out the flaky
Asking for a small deposit at booking — collected through Stripe in the chat — dramatically increases the chance the client shows up, because they now have skin in the game.
Reminders catch the forgetful
Automated reminders before the appointment recover the bookings that were simply forgotten, and give clients an easy way to reschedule instead of vanishing.
Frequently asked questions
Through a Stripe payment link generated inside the chat at the time of booking.
