No-show protection
Your time is your income. It shouldn’t disappear with one ignored text.
When a client doesn’t show, you lose more than an hour — the prep you did, the slot you turned down, the bills you still owe. BookZefy makes deposits mandatory, so clients who book are clients who come.
$0
lost to no-shows
Deposits go straight to your bank account through secure Stripe payouts. If a client cancels too late or doesn’t show up, the deposit is yours — automatically, without awkward conversations or chasing anyone on Cash App.
Step 2
A deposit is required to confirm
Set a fixed amount or a percentage per service. No deposit, no appointment — it’s that simple.
Step 3
Automatic reminders go out
Email reminders 48h and 2h before the appointment, with text messages too on Pro Solo, and your cancellation policy attached.
Step 4
Late cancel? You keep the deposit
Your time is protected automatically. Clients who reschedule in time keep their deposit on file.
Who it’s for
Built for independents, not for the corporate office.
From a solo freelancer in Sacramento to a growing small business in San Diego, BookZefy fits the way independent professionals actually work.
Coaches & consultants
Discovery calls, strategy sessions and packages — with deposits that filter out tire-kickers.
Creative freelancers
Photographers, designers, tutors — lock in shoots and sessions before you block your calendar.
Personal & wellness services
Trainers, therapists, beauty pros — every service with its own duration, price and deposit.

You show up. You get paid.
You get an instant confirmation and automatic reminders go out. If the client comes, the deposit counts toward the price. If they don't, you keep it.
