Sample preview, not a customer
Northline Barbers (demo)
A sample shop you can click through. Not a customer.
If the client cancels outside the window, the deposit refunds on its own. If the client cancels inside the window, or doesn't show, the shop keeps it. If the shop cancels, the deposit is refunded.

No card. The 7-day trial starts when you create the shop, not when someone sends an invoice.
2 Pick a preset
Hair salon, barber, cleaning, tutoring, mobile trades, massage, photo, training, and the other presets on the trade pages. Services, hours, and policy wording are filled in so you can edit them in minutes.
3 Connect Stripe
You do this on Stripe's site. Deposits are direct charges on your account. Slotward does not take a cut. Clients can pay a deposit only after Stripe enables charges.
4 Post the link
Copy the URL or download the QR code. Clients book and pay without creating an account.
Built for the shop you actually run
Each trade page explains the no-show and the deposit, then opens signup with that preset selected. Nothing in the shop record is locked to a salon.
Same booking model, more than one preset
Salons & barbers
Slotward is booking for salons and barbers who are tired of empty chairs. Clients pick a service, pay a deposit, and get a cancel link. Your window decides whether you refund it.
Deposits for salons and barbersMassage therapists
A massage is a timed table. When someone books and doesn't come, that hour doesn't go to the next person. Slotward books the visit and takes a deposit on your Stripe account when they book.
Deposits for massage therapistsPhotographers
A portrait or an event block is a day you didn't give to someone else. Slotward schedules the session and takes a deposit when the client books. It does not store galleries, contracts, or proofs.
Deposits for photographersPersonal trainers
Slotward books a session with one trainer and takes a deposit when the client pays. It does not run a gym floor, a class roster, or a pack of sessions.
Deposits for personal trainersCleaners
A cancelled clean is a house you turned down. Slotward takes the deposit when the client books and refunds it only when they cancel outside your window.
Deposits for house cleaning visitsTutors
Slotward books a block of your time. A student pays a deposit to hold it and gets a link to cancel. There is no student database and no class roster in this version.
Deposits for tutoring sessionsMobile trades
Slotward schedules the visit and takes a deposit when the client books. It does not route a crew, track trucks, or dispatch jobs.
Deposits for mobile trade visitsTattoo studios
Slotward can hold a tattoo session with a deposit. It books one calendar. It does not map booths, guest artists, or a shop floor. A second artist who needs a separate book needs a second shop.
Deposits for tattoo studiosPrice a no-show before you pick a tool
The calculator starts with example numbers you replace. It does not cite a study. The Square, Setmore, and GlossGenius pages repeat only what those public pages said, and each one shows the date they were checked. The other comparison pages describe a way of taking a deposit and do not quote a company's price.
Date-range rentals
Equipment, gear, party, and venue shelves hold a quantity and a security deposit. The day rate is shown. Slotward charges the deposit, not the day rate. Deposits open only after Stripe enables charges.
Guides on deposits and no-shows
Practical pages for the search, with sources linked on the page. Tattoo sessions stay on the tattoo page. These do not invent a no-show rate or a customer quote.
Seven days free, then $39.00 a month or $390.00 a year.
No card is required to start. Annual is $390.00, which is 2 months of the monthly price not billed. Stripe charges only after you add a card from Settings. If the trial ends with no card, new bookings close until a plan is active. The booking page stays up. Client deposits are separate: those are the shop's Stripe charges.
